![]() ![]() The streamer can work over Wi-Fi, but it has issues with that so I’m going to use an Ethernet cable to get around that and will likely sound better as well. The Zen Stream doesn’t link directly to Qobuz (yet) so I spent $6 on an MConnectHD app that has an interface somewhat similar to the Qobuz site. So, to answer your questions, I run Qobuz on my iPad/iPhone wirelessly through my iFi Zen Stream streamer. Also, great choice on the Fritz speakers and not surprised you’re very impressed with them (maybe was the helpful member who recommended them?). BTW, totally agree with you on Qobuz, and I prefer the Amazon interface too but not at the expense of sound quality. I can't thank the person enough, I wish I could member his name? They are GREAT, so impressed!!!! Thank Goodonya for keeping an open mind on this, and you’ll be richly rewarded for any effort you make toward getting a separate streamer. These were chosen from a suggestion of another member a very short time ago. Robert TN For what it's worth, I just got a pair of FRITZ carbon 7SE bookshelf speakers for a secondary system, in a smaller room. So hard to imagine my system sounding better has me very intrigued. Somewhat of a dilemma, when it comes to Amazon and streaming? Any help would be appreciated. Love the way qobuz sounds, but, their site is very poorly done compared to Amazon HD. Does the streamer down load my qobus account? Would I just access my streamer via an app from my phone for qobuz? One of the posts mentioned that Amazon HD isn't supported by any service, other than the Blue sound node which I had and didn't care for at one time. Second, Do I needs to have the computer hooked up any longer. If I were to get a streamer down the road, how does it hook up to my system,(from where to where) I have an outboard DAC that I love, so I would not look at a streamer that has a built in DAC. When over, I just pick another song, etc. Just a few novice questions, I currently use my laptop to stream qobuz, i pick a song on qobuz, and hit play. ![]() Other than paying off previous audio purchases, you have my attention. I want to thank dbb, soix,and edcyn for their suggestions. However, as far as understanding Audio, etc. I have what I believe is a very nice system. To those trying to help, I really appreciate it. In any case there are differences but nothing bad so it often becomes a matter of cutting hairs to decide which is best, so I tend to not care much, as long as the music is playing loud and clear. ![]() Those generally also sound very good sometimes better sometimes not noticeably better than CD res…depends mostly on the source material playing more than merely the streaming resolution. The Evo can stream higher res than cd and I have found a couple internet radio stations that do that. Fwiw it is airplay 2 that does cd resolution and my app indicates that is the case when playing either way. Have done some quick compares and no big differences jumped at me but will give it some more attention and see. I cast to Cambridge evo 150 via either google cast or airplay. There are some mp3s in there as well that I acquired and those sound ok but yes thinner and less dynamic overall. Use a iPhone running mainly Plexamp app to stream from my personal library which is mostly full res ripped CDs. ![]()
