IFi ZEN Stream

All-in-one

Our ‘exclusive modes’ give you individual settings dedicated to specific modes of operation to deliver the purest possible performance.

• All-in-one

This non-specific mode is great for all platforms, audio formats and devices.

• DLNA streaming

Select this mode to optimise performance when using the ZEN Stream with DLNA-compatible apps and devices.

• NAA streaming

Select this mode when using the ZEN Stream as a Network Audio Adapter in conjunction with Signalyst HQPlayer software.

• Roon Ready

Select this mode when integrating the ZEN Stream into a ROON environment.

If you are a subscriber to Tidal’s Masters Tier, this is the mode for you.

The USB ports – both input and output

The USB ports – both input and output – support the SuperSpeed USB3.0 standard and benefit from iFi’s Active Noise Cancelling technology to remove distortion from the audio signal.

Similarly, the coaxial S/PDIF output incorporates iFi’s iPurifier signal purifying technology.

GMT (Global Master Timing)

Both of the two digital outputs – asynchronous USB and coaxial S/PDIF – that provide connectivity to an external DAC or an amp with digital inputs are regulated by iFi’s femto-precision GMT (Global Master Timing) circuitry to eradicate jitter from the digital audio signal.

ARM Cortex microprocessor

The circuit design has been painstakingly engineered to deliver superb sound, with processing muscle supplied by a 64-bit, quad-core ARM Cortex microprocessor.

Taiyo Yuden

Carefully chosen circuit components including discrete, high-grade surface-mounted devices such as TDK C0G multilayer ceramic capacitors and inductors from Taiyo Yuden and Murata add to the quality build of this product.
