Zen Stream is a device that enhances Wi-Fi streaming for audio systems by connecting it to your DAC. It is designed with an optimized open-source architecture to be compatible with various platforms and meet modern requirements. You can enjoy high-resolution PCM384/DSD256 performance through a WiFi or LAN connection and use your own device as a remote control.
The key highlight of the ZEN Stream device is its ability to provide "exclusive" modes, which are individual settings that prioritize performance. By disabling all other programs, this helps minimize jitter, an often overlooked aspect that can negatively impact sound quality on computers.
The device offers two digital outputs: an asynchronous USB and coaxial S/PDIF. These outputs are controlled by iFi's Global Master Timing (GMT) femto-second synchronization scheme, which effectively eliminates digital signal jitter.
Furthermore, the USB ports, both for input and output, support the SuperSpeed USB 3.0 standard and are equipped with iFi's active noise cancellation technology to eliminate audio signal distortion. The coaxial S/PDIF output incorporates iPurifier signal cleaning technology. The device also utilizes high-resistance, low-idle current, low voltage drop, and smooth start voltage regulators to maximize efficiency and minimize system noise.
