iFi Audio ZEN Stream

The ZEN Stream is the long-awaited addition to iFi Audio's popular and highly praised ZEN series. This extremely compact network player fits perfectly into the rest of the ZEN line-up and meets the same design criteria that made the ZEN series so popular.

With this ZEN Stream from iFi Audio you get a high-quality streamer in your home with which you can stream via any sound source in the highest possible sound quality and find a perfect partner in the ZEN DAC. Connect the network player via the USB port and enjoy DSD and PCM streams in an excellent sound quality. If you have an amplifier with a built-in DAC, you can connect the ZEN Stream via both USB and coaxial S/PDIF.

Simply the best

In addition to the digital outputs, the streamer is equipped with dual-band Wi-Fi and an RJ45 LAN connection. The player is suitable for DLNA streaming and is NAA compatible. Spotify Connect and Tidal Connect allow you to stream directly from the Spotify and Tidal smartphone app. In addition, the ZEN Stream is equipped with Apple AirPlay for optimal ease of use with iOS.

Future-proof

Thanks to the powerful 64-bit quad-core ARM processor and the open architecture, this ZEN Stream is designed to be future-proof. Unique to the ZEN streamer is that it is equipped with an 'Exclusive Mode Selection'. This allows the user to set the desired streaming method (including DLNA, NAA, Roon, Tidal) with a rotary switch on the back, with which the streamer only plays the relevant stream in the highest possible sound quality. This is, especially in this price range, a unique feature.

Sound quality first

The soft- and hardware are completely custom built and the streaming platform is equipped with a Femto precision GMT clock, making jitter a thing of the past. The streaming bridge is also, like many other iFi models, equipped with Active Noise Cancellation II and iPurifier technologies for the USB and S/PDIF outputs. It is not without reason that the very affordable components from the ZEN series of iFi Audio are among the most beloved audio components among music lovers worldwide.
