Thanks so much for your answers. Do you know what the link icon (chain) on the NS display does? I think I can turn on the link when I’m on iFi.local. But I can connect without turning on that link icon.Thank you for your valuable feedback. I'll forward it to the team so they can figure out a better way to inform you guys about the functions.
Let me address your questions here:
1. Optimal outputs depend usually more on the DAC, than the streamer. Usually, DACs (especially older ones) sound better with COAX/AES inputs than USB, but it is really case-dependent. No one good answer here, sorry.
2. To bypass internal DAC, just use digital outputs. DAC as is in the name provides the analogue outputs. Everything digital is taken before it, so no worries about it
3. WiFi is usually the least recommended network connection. If you have one stable connection, you can disable the rest. The optical one is the best.
4. The USB output will be active only when NS sees an active USB receiver. So when you turn your system on, please turn your DAC first, so NS can automatically latch onto that.
5. Quobuz, I have no knowledge about whether it is planned to be integrated or not. Can't help here, sorry.
6. Yes, you can use AirPlay 2 to connect your iPad to NS. It will be detected and selected automatically.
If I missed anything please let me know

It's a HotSpot, a function for connecting to the WiFi. You can read more here: https://ifi-audio.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Neo-Stream-User-Manual_Ver0.22.pdf
I’d like to use an IfI USB a to B cable to go from my Neo stream to my dac. My dac has a 2.0 USB input. I can’t find a mercury or Gemini USB 2.0 USB cable for sale. Everything is USB 3.0. Do you know where I could purchase a 2.0 USB cable made by ifi?
You can get one from our website
There is an option to select connection to USB 2.0
Gemini3.0 by iFi audio - Dual Headed Audiophile Grade 0.7m USB 3.0 Audio Cable
Two heads are better than one. The Gemini3.0 dual-headed cable is for those discerning users who prefer their music as interference free as possible. It separates the signal and power cables to minimise interference from RFI and EMI while having superior conductivity for maximum signal transfer.

I have a problem with my Neo Stream - it powers up but is not accessible over the network and won't respond to front panel controls. The only way to switch off is to pull the power. Here's what I know:
1) Looking at the router it assigns an IP address to the Neo
2) I can ping the IP address and get a response
3) Telnet to port 80 0r 443 results in "Connection refused"
4) The reset button does nothing.
It's as though the network side is working but the firmware is not loaded.
Has anyone experience this before or have any ideas on anything I can try?
I'll raise a ticket with Ifi.
