| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz @jackd Thanks for all of your help here. Much appreciated! Have you tried aftermarket DC cables? | |
| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz You are probably correct on them being industry standard size and polarity though. | |
| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz Just want to make sure the power supply I order has the correct size and polarity. Both are very important and the manufacturers have still not gotten back to me with this info so just trying to see if anyone might know. | |
| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz @jackd do you happen to know if the center pin on the barrel connector is positive? | |
| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz @jackd What streamer and DAC do you use in your main system? | |
| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz @jackd So center pin of barrel is positive? Thanks for all of the info here. Very helpful. Think I found the one I want. Will pick up two. One 9v for the Aune X8 DAC and one 12v for the ifi Zen Stream. Look like a good option? https://m.aliexpre... | |
| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz Thanks for the links! Found this one as well. What voltage did you go with? I was thinking if I get a dual ported PS I could plug my DAC and Streamer into it and only need one power supply. Read somewhere that the Zen Stream sounds better at the ... | |
| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz I just double checked and the ifi needs 1.8 amps and the XP2 only outputs 1 amp so might not be a go. Wishing I could find a decent linear power supply for the Zen Stream that is not $280. Anyone know of a good linear that would work with the ifi ... | |
| Ifi Zen Streamer plus upgraded power supply - the streamer to beat?? What about a Aune XP2 power supply? Would that work with the ifi Zen Stream? It outputs 9v at 1amp but not sure the barrel connectors are the same. | |
| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz I am looking at the Aune XP2 power supply and think it might work with the ifi and then I could use the second DC port for the X8 DAC as long as the connectors are the same on ifi and Aune. | |
| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz I just had one of their DAC’s fail so not going with them again. | |
| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz @soix Do you use a upgraded power supply with your Zen Stream? Been trying to find one other than the ifi ones. | |
| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz I like a more relaxed sound but with tight LF. I have owned a R2R DAC and really enjoyed the sound but that unit has started to fail so looking into other options. Budget is maxed at 1K. | |
| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz Now it’s time to pick a DAC to go with the Zen Stream. I have it narrowed down to these three. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Soncos SGD1 Aune X8 Denefrips Ares II | |
| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz The ifi really seams to be the best bang for the buck streamer only option. People keep telling me to look into the Innuos ZenMini MK2 but that’s a fair amount more. |
