Hi - I don't know if this is a Roon 2.0 thing, but my Zen Stream works just fine except for when using USB and switching to Roon exclusive mode, I don't get any output. In All In One mode, USB for Roon works just fine. When in AIO mode on the Zen Stream, in the Roon Audio settings, I see the Zen Stream and the associated USB interface (it's connect to a Signature One DAC). However, when I switch to Roon exclusive and I look at the Roon Audio settings it notes that the Zen Stream is using SPDIF (when I have the USB cable connected).

What's odd, if I am using USB I can go to Tidal exclusive mode, works great. I can go to DLNA mode and use Audirvana, works great. If I switch to coax, then I can use Roon in exclusive mode but not with USB.

This is very odd. Is there something I am missing?

Also - I could not find a way to start or move this topic into the Zen Stream thread…

open a web-browser and Open the Pi-Adress of the ZEN following by :3100 - example: 192.168.2.190:3100

There you can switch the output in Roon-Mode.

Perfect! Work great. I will remember that port number. Not sure if iFi has those things listed, but I am thinking this is still a bug that will be fixed later.

Thanks again for the help.

I will send feedback to the lab. Please send me a DM with your Zen Stream's software version :)
