I wonder where one could get a replacement Bluetooth antenna if it's lost/damaged?

Amazon would have them. They are in general of a standard size and usually 2.4 GHz to 5.8 GHZ. I think. But they are available and not very costly. The same holds true for Wifi antenna.
All the best, sir!

Many thanks. So, any antenna would do as long as it fits the port?
E.g.

Antennas are specifically tuned for a frequency or frequencies which is (I think) 2.4 for Bluetooth). If you order that one it appears it has an extended wire to mount it say, outside of a small enclosure or the like. I have a Bluetooth extender I bought there and I use to plug in my Bluetooth 'phones from one of my headphone jacks and wander around the house with Sinatra on. Its reach is extended from approximately 30 feet to over 100 with the extender/amplifier.
I have bought one in the past and just screwed it onto the back of my device and BAZINGA! It worked just fine for me.
All the best!

@iFi audio has there been a change of permissions with Tidal? I used to be able to do coax out with the zen sig one but now, if it detects mqa, it will be mute. Sometimes it'll play the first second of the song then it'll mute once mqa is detected. It didn't used to do this before and I haven't updated firmware.
Please can you open up a ticket with our support team, they can assist you with this

Please can you make sure that the tidal app is up to date and your ZEN One Signature is on the latest XMOS firmware and Bluetooth firmware. Once this has been updated, restart both devices. Please let me know how you get on!

Still the same issue. These used to work okay before.Please can you make sure that the tidal app is up to date and your ZEN One Signature is on the latest XMOS firmware and Bluetooth firmware. Once this has been updated, restart both devices. Please let me know how you get on!

I am considering either the ZEN ONE Signature or the ZEN DAC V2 Signature as my first venture into BB world. I am aware that the main differences are
- ZEN ONE: no volume control, additional inputs
- ZEN DAC V2 Sig: volume control, USB input only
My main criterium is sound quality. I am only planning to use the USB input. Which of the two would be preferable?
Would the NEO Stream be another step up SQ wise?
Thanks for any pointers

It's the same Dac in both, but the Zen One has a dedicated on-off button, that decided it for me

Picked up one of these for my speaker setup. Sounds great, easy setup, feels well made.

iFi Zen One Signature has an amazing sound!
I am using it connected to my car and it sounds great (either through USB connection or Bluetooth). One feature that would definitely help would be a setting to power on the device automatically when it has power (ignition starts). I always have to click on the power button after I start the car.

Bought a Zen One Signature as I needed something for my speaker setup because I moved my ordinary streamer/dac into my desktop setup.
And I needed an optical output to connect my tv.
So far I have only tested it through Bluetooth and it sounds really good! Will probably add a Zen Stream for it!

I bought one a earlier this week, to replace a ZEN DAC V2, and so far I’m impressed. Using ZEN STREAM into usb, and outputting into ZEN Can,it’s a definite improvement. I find it gives a cleaner sound, and I’m better able to concentrate on enjoying the music, rather than listening to the sound of the system.
I tried it through my speaker system, using Node2i as a source, and it beats the internal DAC of the streamer. It’s staying in the headphone system though, as it’s more practical for me to use it that way.

Funny that ifi calls it the Zen One Signature when it should be the Zen One Signature DAC. Just seeing seeing Zen One Signature doesn't tell you whether it is an amp, a DAC, a streamer, etc. I own one and love it but I can never seem to remember the official 'name'.
