This works! After an upgrade to fiber in my network last summer or fell, I bricked my first Zen Stream, bought another one, and since then until this morning had only been able to use AirPlay to stream music. Thanks to this helpful post, I was able to manually add ‘custom’ DNS settings 8.8.8.8...

Thank you! I understand these things happen from time to time…

Thanks both! Just submitted a ticket:

Note, when I power the unit off, the left light flashes bright green, and the right light flashes dull yellow or dull green (I’m colorblind and can’t tell which - I only know the bright one is green from watching videos)…

Problem - the lights don’t come on. I hooked up the unit, and both lights flashed bright green when I powered the unit on, then immediately the lights went out. After 10 minutes of waiting for the lights (or at least the left one) to turn back on which didn’t happen, I switched the unit off...

Hee hee - I’m similarly yet anxiously optimistic regarding whether it is a joke or a likelihood…!

Received the “new” ZS in the mail yesterday. I ordered from Amazon, the seller was listed as the iFi store, which I purposely chose to avoid any possible third party nonsense. (The first one I purchased came from Crutchfield, was indeed new, and gave me trouble-free service for over a year...

I’ve been pleased with each power supply upgrade that I have done in terms of sound improvement. SBooster 15V is great with the ZS in my setup. Unfortunately, my ZS went down yesterday, but I’ve got another one on the way, and hopefully this bricked one can be saved for backup use if/when the...

Well, after over a year of perfect service from my ZS, it stopped streaming music after about 30 seconds last night, and it wouldn’t turn off. So, I performed MrBubbaHyde’s procedure provided as the very first post on this thread. After resetting the unit and powering it back on, im unable to...

Did you try using Mr.BubbaHyde’s suggested setup method on the first page of this thread? I did it exactly as written and my Stream has worked flawlessly…

Have you tried the 12.5 and 13.2V settings to compare? I too use an sbooster mk2 but have the 15V model for the ZS. I got the ultra mk2 module, as well, but haven’t yet attached it. I’m very happy with how it sounds with the ZS feeding the iFi DAC signature V2 - it seems to keep getting better...

I’ve only used 15V on the ZS, and have only used the ZS for a couple weeks, but am very pleased with the sound quality from the ZS with a 15V power supply (to an iFi DAC Signature V2 powered with a 5V iFi PowerX). And it seems to just keep getting better!

Right on! Mine seems to keep sounding a little better each day since installing it 5 days ago. I couldn’t be more pleased…

Oh no…! I’m only streaming Tidal, and I’m using an iFi DAC - I don’t know the first thing about internet radio or how to ensure entire systems play well together… You got it going, though - I bet you’ll find assistance to get you fully running and enjoying music here.

Ya, my router was a mess to get to, too! The result of going through that hassle was easily worth it to me based on the result I’m listening to right now! Hopefully neither me or you will have to do updates/resets too often! I was concerned that I was going to have issues with the ZS from just...

You Hi, I just set mine up a couple days ago using an iPhone and the provided Ethernet cable hooked to a lan port in my router. I bought the ZS kind of on a whim and started researching the unit after purchase. Lots of horror stories on the internet kind of triggered buyers remorse. But, I...

Thank you, Mr BubbaHyde! I followed this last night and my new Zen Stream is working flawlessly - I like this device! At this point, my Zen Stream is only hastily hooked up. I need to move some stuff around and hook it up more permanently. In order to do so, and in the spirit of keeping this...
