IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz

@temmple 

Glad you finally got it all worked out. 

I’m testing out Qobuz via Mconnect in my aforementioned Zen Stream set up:

(Ifi Zen > Curious USB > Denafrips Iris > Lifatec fiberoptic > Denafrips Ares II > Blue Jeans rca > amp)

Yes I think it sounds better than my Tidal connect set up I was using before .
also I’m able to verify that Mconnect is delivering the hi-rez streams to my equipment.

that said, I don’t think I can use this Mconnect app. It’s definitely better than the Ifi app but still not really pleasant to use.

I’ll try Roon next … need to find a cheap nuc situation …or I’ll just go back to tidal connect

Nuc...

@j_andrews Are you using MConnect or MConnect HD?  I found the HD version to not be bad at all, and for $5.99 might be worth a try if you’re using the free version now. 

Just the free version for now 

I’ll buy the $6 app but is it the useability that improves or sound quality ?

It seems clunky and laggy just to search.  Also the search bar itself requires perfect spelling, etc… which is challenging when discovering new music
