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.

@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.

mconnect is available for iOS devices. I’m an all Apple/Mac guy, but do not use my computers to stream, only my iPhone and iPad. But they act as simply ‘remotes’ in function, as I will not use AirPlay, as it is limiting and not as good sound quality as Tidal Connect, as example.
