Three things that according to the details in the link, are included in this streamer. I think there’s a lot of value here for those that are looking for something like this.
The price was higher than I expected from their Zen line. The Zen line has been mostly entry level stuff so far with most prices under 200usd, except the Drop signature line. But, after considering you get all those nifty little iFi accessories and realizing there isn’t a streamer you don’t have to program yourself at this price, it’s a pretty good deal. I think this is also a sign that streamers are becoming a more popular product and there will be lower priced models yet in the future.
Interesting. I have a Zen Stack (Phono and Zen Can), and I use a Sonos Port with them to get streaming functionality. I’d love to see a review comparing the Zen Stream to the Sonos Port.
What’s next for this Zen line? A little 2.0 (or 2.1) speaker amp would be pretty cool.
ZEN electrostatic energiser, lol
Zen Charge?
FYI all, Zen Stream is now available in the US and EU!
If it’s like the silkscreening on the Zen DAC it shouldn’t be that hard to remove…
Unfortunately can’t say until it happens 
Anyone knows if it feeds USB audio 2.0 out so I can use my DAP as a DAC?
Also hows the app control?
It has usb output yes. So far I’ve had no issues getting a USB connection to a Schiit Bifrost 2 and a Chord Hugo 2. I haven’t tried a dap yet but see no reason it wouldn’t work.
I misunderstood this too. As of yet there is no dedicated iFi app. Many software players will recognize Zen Stream as an audio device they can cast to. I’ve used Audirvana and the Spotify mobile app and both connected and streamed just fine. iFi claims compatibility with the Tidal app for both iOS and Android but I can’t confirm because I am no longer a Tidal user. They also claim the iOS Qobuz app will do the same. The Qobuz Android app does not yet.
Thanks alot. Just curous you have to set up the link via UPnP? Or as long as the zen stream is in the same Wlan it will automatically connect?
I haven’t done a deep dive. I got it 2 nights ago and haven’t delved into all the features. Setup was pretty quick. I have it on its “plays nice with all” setting and my Audirvana and Spotify apps saw it right away. Best I can tell I’m getting bit perfect streaming from Audirvana through the Stream to the dac. At least my dacs claim to be getting the correct sample rates, even dsd worked.
That’s great to hear. Glad it’s been smooth all around for you so far!
