Another OPPO 203 Connection Question

I think the USB port is meant for a drive / stick with files on it. You could possibly connect the iPad to the HDMI input with the Apple Multiport A/V adapter, but you lose the ability to charge the device while it's in use.

Another option is to connect the UDP-203 to the LAN and use it as a DLNA renderer. You'll have to download an app like mConnect app to stream music. I've tried it with files stored on my Mac-based server (running Kodi) and Qobuz. Works and sounds great.

I’ve used the105 as a Renderer, not by choice but when another streamer flaked out.  However I don’t understand what the OP is up to here.  What files is he playing?  A streaming service such as Tidal or files that are on the iPad?  If it is a service such as Tidal, he could actually get a decent streamer for what an iPad costs, and hook it up either to his DAC or pre amp, depending upon if he wants to use the DAC in the streamer.  Then his iPad isn’t tethered to his system 

I apologize for not being a bit more detailed. My goal is to live stream music using Qobuz or Apple Music as the sole source.No files.

I’ve been researching BluesSound-Cambridge-Lumin and all the rest, but prior to going to a dedicated streaming device I thought I would put this question out there to see what was possible with what I already have. I have IPads, IPhone, and
IMac desktops at my disposal.

In the end, if I must use WiFi I will purchase a dedicated streamer and hard wire.
