I agree...

Please take a moment to gather this experience and pass it on to the support folks here...

https://support.ifi-audio.com/

More folks reporting an issue like this is better for resolution in the long run! Sorry for the issues.

Cheers!!

Will do!

Over and out.

No, Not yet but this is in the works to be addressed. On a side note, I was under the impression that as long as the Volume is at 100% (you can set default in the menu) then bit perfect is accomplished.

This was my understanding, if I am wrong apologies, just hit me up if you can run any test that shows it isn't and I will be glad to pass them along.

Cheers!!

I wish thats the case but no. Huge sq hit.

I am still on the previous version of the firmware, even with the help of Mr BubbaHyde I couldn’t manage it. WiFi is constantly dropping and firmware lines appear. I reported it a while ago to the support group of Ifi. Hopefully they can find out.
But another question: I use NS temporarily as a dac, but with Audirvāna Studio I cannot replay >DSD256, DSD128 gives occasional hickups. Has somebody else experience with Studio in relation to NS? I have a support ticket with Audirvana as well as Ifi, as I don’t know where the problem lies. In Studio (in settings) I can see that upnp is enabled and I should be able to stream up to DSD512, but silence knocks. In my old Zodiac dac dsd was automatically downsampled, so I could at least listen to the music…

Hey folks! I have a Holo Spring 3 KTE incoming and I'm thinking of using the i2S digital output into the Spring. Does anyone have experience with this setup and advice? That would be much appreciated!

Just bumping this up to see if anyone has any experience or advice on using the i2S digital output from the Neo Stream

Hmm, usually USB connections work flawlessly, at least for me.

I remember at one time using the internal DAC I would have to use the Dial to change from analog to digital and back to analog to have it "kick in" so to speak, you could try that. Does this happen in AIO mode as well? Let me know...

Cheers!!

Major bummer, Roon just released their newest firmware an hour ago and no Tidal update.

No. Audirvana

Are you turning on the computer with Audirvana?
Are you using the iFi audio NEO Stream as a DAC only?

I thought about buying this device to use with Audirvana over network.
I use DSD a lot, but it doesn't seem to be working very well.

Yes, Studio starts with the NS as a dac via ethernet. In fact I stream Studio to NS via upnp. See screenshot.
no, I also stream my Apple Music to the NS: works fine with the former firmware, not the latest

Perhaps the problem is the amount of memory you are leaving for Audirvana.
Try leaving about 4Gb.

Found the post by @ctrlm on the configurations to be set on the Holo Spring 3 KTE for use with the i2S digital output from the NS. Informative series of posts.

I'm glad you found your information! I was going to tell you that I had no issues using i2S from the NS To my SMSL DO200 MKII as well, all worked very well and sounded great to me.

Cheers!!

Thanks! I was more concerned about which setting to use in the Holo Spring.
Kudos to Holo for having different settings since i2S still has different configurations.

Will Qobuz work for iFi Neo Stream like Tidal Connect?

Not at this time, Qobuz is working on its version of Qobuz Connect, until that is finished you must use a third-party app, such as Mconnect or Roon as well as others.

Cheers!!

 

[stoicar]

So is a hope for qobuz connect in neo strem in the future ?
