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.

What sound characteristics are important to you and what’s your budget?

I like a more relaxed sound but with tight LF. I have owned a R2R DAC and really enjoyed the sound but that unit has started to fail so looking into other options. Budget is maxed at 1K. 

@soix Do you use a upgraded power supply with your Zen Stream?

Been trying to find one other than the ifi ones.
