This video shows what happens with the first boot. I do not have anything happening after I hook up the power and press the power button. I have given up. If iFi support guides me to set it up with reset or flashing the device, there would be hope. Otherwise, I am doomed to return the unit and have my money burnt from the back and forth shipping journey! )-:

Well if you're "Doomed" and don't want to try anything to help than ok.

If the device is booted it should appear on the Wifi device list isn't it? Nothing happens here.

I set mine up using its own WiFi hotspot. There is a process to do this. The only reason you do this is so that you can connect the Stream to your WiFi and (optionally) rename it. Ultimately the Stream needs to be connected to your WiFi. You have to engage its hotspot mode first.

Looks like it. Isn't it. I can't get it powered up. I guess there is an issue with either OS booting or hardware issue!

Forgive me for asking, because I don't know...

But that process you went thru involves using the button on the right, am I correct?

You stated previously that you had the little white light, your asking about button combinations, and are outright refusing to acknowledge that I have said on several occasions to try the wired setup first!

You also said you have a support ticket, and Praised your bit perfect, fully running Roon Bridge Pi!

Not sure what more I can do for you...

Check this Vid and tell me if this is what your seeing in your startup or non-startup, lol? Thanks

All I get is that first tiny white led and then nothing, the large lights never come on at any time and it cannot be seen on my network.

For clarity the App or ifi.local does not open either correct?

FYI those large lights do not come on always either that was one of the times they did, lol

Nothing at all, ip address is supposed to 192.168.211.1 and nothing can be reached at that either.
Here is iFi ps I have

Its all good, Musicdirect have arranged for return of mine and a replacement with no cost to me for shipping so its all boxed up now and will try again on the new one when it arrives.

Button that is shown. It is the only button at least does something (Making the tiny LED to light on).

Glad you got it sorted. It seems to me thru some quick testing, (not scientific) that the unit starts quicker, and runs cooler at 12v.

If you treat it the same as "Volumio" then a wired setup first then enabling wifi preferences from inside the local address has seemed to work better, and has solved some startup issues in other forums, so all I can do is point that out. I am running mine on the LPS until I hear about my power supply, lol

Cheers!!

By any chance does it play internet radio? I use a cheap streamer from D-Steam for global stations, but half the time it's not recognized by the app. My wife is a bid fan of SiriusXM as well. Any future plans to integrate other services?

I probably would not even have bothered with WiFi at all.
Was going to be a Roon endpoint only feeding my Mark Levinson ml585 integrated USB input.
So was wired only.

Follow the instructions on Page 2 here:

That's exactly what I did to get it into local hotspot mode and then I just used my computer to connect to http://ifi.local to complete the setup.
