Completing the Collection

The Zen Stream 3 completes iFi's third-generation lineup in style. Designed to perfectly partner with the Zen DAC 3, it shares the same unmistakable design language, sleek yet full of character. 

Beneath the surface, upgraded hardware, smarter software, and K2 Technology work in harmony to deliver a more refined music streaming experience: smoother operation, richer detail, and effortless control. 

Connect Your Hi-Fi to Wi-Fi

Introduce your audio system to the world of high-resolution streaming. Browse, queue, and control your music wirelessly from a phone or tablet with no compromise in sound quality. iFi has re-engineered the software using Volume 3.0 as a starting point, then coded and optimized it for the purist streaming experience bar none.

Studio-Grade Restoration

Digital masters often miss the warmth and richness of their analog roots, leaving you with sound that's cold and lifeless. JVCKENWOOD's K2 Technology restores depth, nuance, and musicality of the original performance, without altering the sample rate. Once exclusive to select iFi DACs, the Zen Stream 3 can now breathe new life into your favorite converter.

Built to Sound Better

The Zen Stream 3 delivers best-in-class sound through intelligent hardware design and signal optimization.

• Upgraded polymer and ELNA Silmic II capacitors provide cleaner power and smoother treble respectively
• USB and S/PDIF outputs are regulated by a femto-precision clock and enhanced with ANC and iPurifier tech for low distortion performance
• User-selected Exclusive Modes shut down unnecessary background processes at the OS level, cutting software jitter for purist playback

Setup, Simplified

Getting connected has never been easier. An all-new IoT chip enables seamless pairing between the Zen Stream 3 and your home Wi-Fi using the iFi Nexis app. Once connected, Nexis transforms your smartphone into a powerful remote control.
