Hey everyone,
Well hopefully back home for at least more than a couple days this time. First off a big thanks to all who sent well wishes in private messages and in other ways. I know I didn't get them right away but I did see them, and they are greatly appreciated!!
Unfortunately, everything is not back to where it needs to be, still have some rather large gaps in memory, and other issues have developed that are to say the least very limiting in not only what I can do, but also how I can do it. While I am here today and knowing I will be absent quite a bit, I wanted to comment best I can on what I have been able to keep up on, and what I have read.
First off, what an absolute shame for the most part this thread has become, I honestly cannot believe what it has become. After all the time myself and others have spent helping new Zen Stream owners try to overcome whatever issues they were having, and trying to make sure they address whatever they needed, to see this crap that's being posted now, honestly makes me never want to be part of any forum again. To think of all the posts and private messages lost to time (meaning the page before this one), that will never even be looked at, or read before someone makes their next post is honestly just freaking sad. I seriously cannot even fathom how far this has fallen, and the worst part is that the ZS is such a good product that will probably never be bought by people because of all the crap that's been posted here. (By Crap I mean disinformation, and just plain not knowing how the product works.
So I'm probably going to get in trouble in someway here with this post but, being sometimes I can't remember what I did yesterday, two days ago or ten days ago, well screw it...
Why @iFi audio lets some of this junk stay posted here without consequence is quite frankly beyond me. As we all know sometimes all it takes is a single bad review, or forum post, to put people off of a product. Why? Well because most people just see the first few things that pop up, and refuse to dig into the details of a product, as an example again, most people wont even read a few pages back, or skim a larger thread to see if their issue has been brought up, addressed or solved, they just read the last two or three posts, and decide it's not worth it.
So speaking of the last posts, why in the blue hell anyone would ask @rudy49 a question about the ZS is beyond my wildest imagination! Not only has he been spouting the same easily disproved BS for well over 100 pages, give me a break!! If you believe or put an stock in what he is saying, frankly it's your loss, you've missed out on a fantastic sounding streamer, that has been proven by many of us thru tests, and comparisons to be better than many units twice it's asking price! Do you really believe he has received 3 exactly the same faulty units? Exhibiting the exact same symptoms?? Come on now, let's get real.
@rudy49 could not find his butt with both hands, even if someone pointed to it for him.
To back up my harsh statement, just look thru his own posts you will see how he has contradicted himself over and over. But yet here he is everyday crapping all over a product he claims to love but can't get working, OMG! Certainly smells to me like a competitors troll, more than likely a paid agent of disinformation, but that's just my opinion.
So to wrap up, I know I will not be here allot, at least not right now anyway, but if anyone needs help, just send a PM I will do what I can to help.
That being said, I will point out to those who haven't read any of my posts (or others), my ZS has been working flawlessly since I got it, which was the day after release day, I think. If you are having issues with the ZS reach out to @iFi audio , or @Sebastien Chiu or contact ifi Directly, they are wonderful. In the very beginning the got right on a defective batch of power supplies, and resolved the issue, if you asked!
Does the ZS have some hiccups, sure...
Does the ZS sound fantastic, absolutely...
Does @rudy49 have a freaking clue what he's talking about, ABSOLUTELY NOT!
To all my friends here...
Cheers... Peace, and love!
Out for now...
