IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz


What is the best way to setup the ifi Zen Stream to work Qobuz? I would like to get 24/196 when available and also trying to find out if that’s possible with this setup. Most likely going to use a Denefrips Ares II in conjunction with the Zen Stream.

I spent the $6 on mconnect HD and it was great until the app stopped recognizing the Zen Stream over Wi-Fi.  I’m switching to a wired connection through a TP-Link extender that will likely avoid the issue (and probably sound better), and until the Wi-Fi problem the app worked well and all my playlists, favorites, etc. were there.  I was surprised that streaming sounded better than spinning CDs, which was a nice bonus. 

@soix  I also run my iFi Zen Stream via an extender. Works well. I only had a couple ‘hick-up’ with the Zen Stream and Wi-Fi connection, but when they occurred, they were frustrating. With the extender, no more issues, ever. 
 

 

Don’t bother with mConnect, at least for Android. I have not touched it after using BubbleUPnP (free) that works with Tidal and Qobuz. For me the increased sound quality trump’s the convenience of a Connect system. Kind of like Spotify and Tidal before it went Connect. Qobuz really dropped the noise floor in the past year.

Forget to mention controlling via iPhone or iPad.
I hope I can find a way to use Qobuz with the Ifi Zen that’s not complicated but might have to switch to Tidal,

Just download the $6 mConnect HD app from the Apple store and you’re good to go. No need to switch to Tidal. I've never had a problem with mConnect and the Zen Stream with either WiFi or Ethernet connection.  Pick the Zen Stream as your source and then sign into Qobuz from inside the mConnect app.
