Amazon Music High Definition and Ultra High Definition Equipment Requirements


My goal is to use my late-model iPhone to stream music from Amazon HD/Ultra-HD through some sort of DAC and then on to my stereo (old McIntosh with Bozak speakers). I see that the upper transmission rate specified by Amazon is 24 bit/192 kHz. Am I correct in assuming that a DAC such as, for example, the Schiit Modi+ , will allow me to accomplish this goal?  For reference, here is. link to specs on this DAC:

@mahler123 The Node does stream Amazon over the network. It has a limited function app built in for Amazon. If I remember correctly, you needed to use the android or ios app on a phone to create or manage lists and favorites, as the Node UI did not do that...it just played your albums, playlists, etc.

I found that Tidal connect was integrated better.... not wanting to use separate devices to manage or play my music.

Although Tidal and Spotify both offer the "Connect" api, for the best integration on Node, I ended up with Qobuz for the superior SQ.
