Dear All:
i am about to buy the iFi Zen Blue v3. may i please ask a few questions please, in case the good folks here might already know the answer?
1) has anyone tried to use another antenna that might offer superior range please (on their v1 or v2)? i.e. one of those antennas with a long cable so one may place the antenna in a good location slightly away from the Zen Blue unit itself, and it may offer superior range performance?
2) the v1 Zen Blue uses a round antenna. the v2 Zen Blue uses an IMPROVED round antenna with a FLATTENED portion and it improves range significantly (they claim 80% better). oddly now, with v3 of the Zen Blue, they have REVERTED back to the v1 lower range antenna(!) which is beyond any logical reasoning!! the v3 costs $299 and there's no reason to skimp on a $3 antenna!
look forward to hearing. thank you all in advance.
