Top Notch Technology
iFi Audio’s Zen Stream Streamer has been designed and built with the very best technology iFi Audio has to offer, which makes the audio performance unbeatable and operation seamless.
The inner parts consist of a powerful 64-bit quad-core ARM Cortex microprocessor, a femto-precision GMT clock to remove jitter, high-PSRR, low idle current, low-dropout voltage regulators for reduced system noise, a synchronous 1.6MHz high-speed precision power supply controller for less distortion, and carefully chosen C0G capacitors and Taiyo Yuden and Murata low ESR inductors to improve quality.
High Quality Connections
The Zen Stream has two SuperSpeed USB3.0 ports, with Active Noise Cancellation II, which efficiently removes noise for the perfect performance. It also has a S/PDIF output with iFi Audio’s iPurifier built-in for an improved purity in the signal.
Purest Streaming Software
iFi Audio’s innovative and cutting edge software, which has been developed with Volumio open-source, is among the purest streaming software on the market.
Exclusive Modes
‘Exclusive Modes’ allow you to optimise the performance of the Zen Stream for when you use it for a particular function. These modes include; ‘All-in-One’, which covers all modes; ‘DLNA Streaming’, for use with a DLNA application; ‘NAA Streaming’, when using the Zen Stream as a Network Audio Adapter; ‘Roon Bridge Streaming’, for use with Roon; and ‘Tidal Streaming’, for use with Tidal.
