iFi ZEN Stream 3 network player with Wi-Fi, LAN and hi-res streaming service support for your hi-fi system
Connecting a traditional hi-fi system to the internet and modern streaming services can be more complicated than it seems. The iFi ZEN Stream 3 network player simplifies this step. Connect it to your favourite DAC or amplifier via the digital coaxial output, and the device will handle receiving music from the internet and your home network. The player connects via Wi-Fi or a LAN (RJ-45) network port, supports DLNA, UPnP and AirPlay protocols, and can stream music directly from Spotify, Tidal, Amazon Music, Qobuz and Deezer, as well as play files stored on a USB flash drive in AAC, FLAC, MP3, ALAC, WAV and AIFF formats. Its grey body, measuring 3.5×15.8×10cm, will fit into any hi-fi setup. Thanks to mains power and multi-room support, you can play the same music in multiple rooms simultaneously.

The iFi ZEN Stream 3 network player streams music directly from Spotify, Tidal and Qobuz without needing to start playback from your phone or computer. According to its specifications, it also supports streaming from Amazon Music and Deezer. It transmits signals from the internet and your home network in high resolution, up to PCM 384kHz and DSD256, so the quality of streamed music is equivalent to listening to local files. You can play your own music library directly from a USB flash drive in AAC, FLAC, MP3, ALAC, WAV and AIFF formats.
Wi-Fi, LAN and AirPlay for home network connection
The ZEN Stream 3 connects to your home network in two ways: either via Wi-Fi or with a cable via the LAN (RJ-45) port. A wired connection ensures the most stable and fastest data transfer. DLNA and UPnP compatibility opens the player up to a wide range of applications and controls, while AirPlay support simplifies streaming from Apple devices. You can also integrate the player into a multi-room system to play the same music simultaneously in multiple rooms. The processed signal then travels on via the digital coaxial output to your DAC or amplifier.
Clearer sound and a compact body for any setup
K2 technology from JVCKENWOOD enriches recordings with harmonic components lost during post-production. This gives the sound a more natural and fuller character, while the track's original sampling rate remains preserved. The USB and S/PDIF outputs use femto-precision clock circuits combined with Active Noise Cancellation and iPurifier technologies, which work together to minimise distortion and signal jitter. The grey body, measuring 3.5×15.8×10cm, will fit next to a DAC or amplifier in any hi-fi system, and mains power ensures stable, uninterrupted operation.
