S booster on my Dac. The value of this little streamer with quality power attached is off the charts.

Im using a 9v ipower x with great results too!Indeed, we god a lot of feedback that ZEN Stream's performace scales really well with PSUs and also DC voltage. Some folks like to use power supplies rated near the upper limit (15V).
The S booster I have, has the option (switch) of 12,13 or 13.5 volts, so i chose the highest level.power supplies rated near the upper limit (15V)
I noticed this a while ago that tidal connect sounds better then going through roonThe S booster I have, has the option (switch) of 12,13 or 13.5 volts, so i chose the highest level.
Today I am using Tidal connect again, rather than going through Roon, and it is very noticeably better sounding.
https://player.ru/showthread.php?t=281382 - in Russian languageЗдравствуйте, подскажите в чем может быть проблема, при передаче через airplay на ifi zen stream не выдает звук, показывает что файл проигрывается но звука нет
I have this same issue but only once after each reboot. If i stop until the light goes off and play again it works properly until next reboot. I mainly use roon but noticed the same behavior with Spotify and tidal natively.Здравствуйте, подскажите в чем может быть проблема, при передаче через airplay на ifi zen stream не выдает звук, показывает что файл проигрывается но звука нет
I‘m using ZEN stream with a Pro-ject Power Box Maia on the 15V output (measured real 15.16V) and it also works great so far…Indeed, we god a lot of feedback that ZEN Stream's performace scales really well with PSUs and also DC voltage.

My math tells me that they cost two times the Zen stream. Not sure why you think it is funny, but I already had the USB cable before I bought the Zen. The power supply is on home demo, so I have a couple of weeks to decide if I want to keep it, I will.You basically have a power supply + USB cable that cost 3 times the ZS
LOL
I would consider a lumin streamer with those dacs personally, the U1 comes with a LPS.My math tells me that they cost two times the Zen stream.

I downgraded my source a while back to fund new speakers, so the Zen is a stepping stone for me, eventually I will get a DCS Bartok, or Mola Mola Tambaqui as my source.
You don't have to explain, looks like I'm judging you but it was not my original intention. I apologize for that. Your money your honey It's just the idea of spending more for a cable vs the hardware that sounds a little bit weird from my point of you.My math tells me that they cost two times the Zen stream.
