Hi Confused,
what settings are you using in HQPlayer ? I tested it once together with Roon and with the recommended settings it was not very responsive anymore. It took several seconds until the music playback begins. I'm thinking about buying a Zen Stream as it is now finally Roon Ready.
It seems you connect the Zen to the Mutec MC3 via USB. Have you tried to connect via SPDIF ? And what power supply are you using for the Zen ? The included SMPS or something better ?
