iFi Audio - Zen Stream 3 - High-Resolution Network Audio Streamer
The ZEN Stream 3 brings full wireless hi-fi capability to any audio system, pairing redesigned hardware with an advanced streaming engine for cleaner, richer, and more responsive playback. It introduces iFi’s latest upgrades, including K2 Technology for restoring the depth and nuance of master recordings, enhanced power delivery through new polymer and ELNA Silmic II capacitors, and a femto-precision regulated digital output stage. With support for PCM 384kHz, DSD256, and native Qobuz Connect, it unlocks higher-resolution streaming with smoother operation and broader compatibility.
Setup is faster and more intuitive thanks to an all-new IoT chip and the iFi Nexis app, enabling seamless Wi-Fi pairing and effortless control from a smartphone or tablet. Users can browse, queue, and manage music from leading platforms such as Tidal, Spotify, and Qobuz, or optimize performance with Exclusive Modes that reduce OS-level software jitter. Matching the design of the ZEN 3 series, the Stream 3 blends clean aesthetics with carefully engineered components to deliver a meaningful upgrade to any standalone DAC or hi-fi system.
Designed as the ideal companion to the ZEN DAC 3, it completes the third-generation ZEN collection with a more refined streaming experience, improved tonal smoothness, enhanced digital isolation, and wider format support for modern listeners.
