Verdict: iFi Audio Zen Stream is very good for its price 9. I think I've read people are using raspberry pi 4 USB output to DAC and with something called ropieee xl but i'm not sure to understand. The rest of the filling is just as impressive (ceramic capacitors, Taiyo Yuden TDK C0G inductors, PSRR stabilizers and other audiophile delights), and the list of formats is simply gorgeous PCM 32/384 and DSD256 are supported Roon Ready is also available. Thanks in advance for your help and sorry for the rookie questions Would I be able to use qobuz native app with that? I think I've read people are using raspberry pi 4 USB output to DAC and with something called ropieee xl but i'm not sure to understand. First thing is, I just don't understand why?! Why is it so much better? As good as can be those players, their ios app are just remote apps and I don't want to have a desktop computer ON everytime I want to stream qobuz. However, I can read everywhere that one has to use another player such as Roon/Audirvana/Plex/etc instead of the Qobuz native app.

The Pulse Mini I got my wife for he birthday may have to stay, she likes the portability and Qobuz Duo account. You can stream 192 kHz through the Qobuz desktop app, the mobile app, and even the web player with no additional hardware or software required. FYI, I don't have a network NAS with flac files or anything- I only use Qobuz or Tidal.įirst, I've seen that airplay is limited to 16/44.1 cd quality, so I thought that the right move was to use the toslink output of a Chromecast Audio with a nice reviewed DAC such as the topping E30 (btw, a big thanks to amirm's work and reviews- very interesting, I've learned a lot) to stream up to 24/92 files. 7,835 Location NorCal 2,941 Maybe Im with Amir on this thing, but when it gets Roon and an Ethernet connection (Pro) my Bluesound stuff may go to eBay.

#Qobuz streamer hardware how to
I'm still a rookie regarding hi-fi and there is a point that I still don't understand: how to best wirelessly stream/cast Qobuz 24 bits hi-res files from the ios native app to my analog stereo integrated amp.
