IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz


What is the best way to setup the ifi Zen Stream to work Qobuz? I would like to get 24/196 when available and also trying to find out if that’s possible with this setup. Most likely going to use a Denefrips Ares II in conjunction with the Zen Stream.

12 volt is the sweet spot for the power supplies.  The barrel is 2.1 and pin one is positive.  Don't know anything about the brand with the link you supplied and I just stuck with a brand I had experience with.  Most of the ones you buy on Ebay you can just buy from Ali Express for less with quicker shipping.  Don't try to get to cheap.  Don't have to spend $299 but there is a lower limit too.

Agree with @jackd to spend a few more dollars on a reputable brand to minimize the risk of potentially damaging your equipment. 

I am using a 12v SBooster with my ZS. I know, it does not make sense because the SBooster costs almost as much as the ZS, I told my dealer it does not make sense when he suggested it, then he connects the SBooster to the ZS…. and after 30s, I bought it. I do not know if a lower cost power supply can have the same effect but I can confirm that the ZS responds very well to a better PS.
