Apple iPad music streamer

Thx Vodoo. I forgot about using a USB connection to get non lossless files. There are a host of streamers that have various remotes. I am using the latest bluesound node now which has a good interface and is simple to use. It is about $500. 

How exactly are you connecting your iPad to the DAC? The main methods I know are lossy or analog neither is very good. 

Just a heads up that the combo chargers and usb output dongles are often super noisy. A streamer is the right solution here. 

Yes, the current Node is roon ready. You probably know you can rip your CDs and setup a library which the node can see as a source. It takes times and for the vast majority streaming has the same stuff one would have on CDs.
