iFi audio ZEN Stream - Streaming elevated to a higher plane

And i am looking for soekris 1421

This one is made in Europe :wink:

Being an audio company, I'm pretty confident that iFi spent some effort tweaking the hardware of the ZS for audio performance.

Sure! Digital inputs and outputs partake in sound reproduction and we have our own ways how to make them what they are. But in short, we wanted ZEN Stream to not sound lifeless, dull and flat. Power supply is just one aspect how to counteract that.

Hello Ifi !

what is recommended for ZS - atached usb hdd or ssd? Now I have small 128gb sandisk flash drive, but it overheated so much.

regards,
Simon

Whatever moves the least is the better choice. SSDs with no moving parts at all are the better option, but HDDs last longer :)

Hi iFi. I know you are not sharing dates but is the plan to bring Chromecast and Roon Ready status to the ZS. I bought two and love them but really hoped to get these two things. Thanks

There are no firm dates on these features yet, sorry!

tried to get in touch with TREO today to find an amicable solution, but no one in the office? no answer emailing them?
🤔
I’m sorry I’m new in Stream ”water”....
How can I stream my local files from windows laptop to ZS?

regards,
Simon
If I may suggest, buy a NAS and put all your music there. it is another game-changer

Hmm...ok. Thank you, I will think about this option.

regards,
Simon
you were thinking to send music to ZS from your win pc.
having a NAS is a much better solution to stream files locally, and TBH never heard any differences vs direct streaming via USB which I can hear in other different occasions.
