Stream High-Res PCM and DSD256 to Almost Any DAC: iFi Zen Stream 3 Sends Music from Internet with No Loss in Quality, Features K2 Technology and Seamless Pairing

Compatible with any DAC with USB or S/PDIF connections, the iFi Zen Stream 3 streamer sends music from the internet to your DAC with no loss in quality. This open-source Wi-Fi audio transport serves as a high-end bridge between your Wi-Fi network and audio system. It also functions as a hassle-free Roon endpoint. Able to support up to native 32-bit/384kHz PCM, DSD256, and MQA, Zen Stream 3 features open-source architecture with Qobuz Connect, K2 technology, a 64-bit quad-core microprocessor, and audiophile-grade capacitors and inductors. 

To set up the 1.27-pound Zen Stream 3, simply use the iFi Nexis app that seamlessly pairs with your WiFi system and turns your phone into a remote control. Easy! Whether you connect wirelessly or via an Ethernet cable, this petite device is an instant gateway to services such as TIDAL, Spotify, Qobuz, and more. Zen Stream 3 directs packets of audio data straight to your connected DAC without applying any processing. In addition, the digital outputs — a USB-A 3.0 port and S/PDIF — are enhanced with Active Noise Cancellation II and iPurifier technology to remove distortion. In addition, they're regulated by femto-precision GMT (Global Master Timing) circuitry to eradicate jitter. 

For listeners who want to experiment, Zen Stream 3 offers "Exclusive" modes: individual settings that deliver the purest possible performance. If activated, this feature shuts down all other programs to minimize distortion.
