Thoughts on the iFi Zen Streamer


I am looking for input from those who have knowledge on this streamer. I have been considering the latest Bluesound Node. I have a quality DAC.

@dbb Thanks for the additional info. I am anticipating the curve, both with the device and the streaming service.

I have had the zen streamer for over a month running "Roon Exclusive" mode. FANTASTIC. Much more quiet vs direct USB out from imac (room core)

To all, I am about to move into a home which I have been working on over the last year. Have held off on getting a streamer until I move in and have internet installed. Not yet sure which unit I will purchase.

I remain thankful for all advise provided.

Roon is a music lovers delight. I run a Nucleus+ but most will do just fine with a Nucleus. Many other options to host Roon.

Currently running four endpoints, each with a Zen Stream, two with wired ethernet, two with wireless. Stable and excellent sound quality in "Roon  Exclusive" mode.
