I’ve been doing it this way too and got a nice boost in detail, transparency, imaging, and soundstage by ditching the Apple Camera adapter and getting the one from LavriCable. I was happy until I hooked up my CD transport and realized it sounded better, and after asking around here I’ll be getting a streamer — probably an iFi Stream. Congrats on taking the plunge. I think you made the right choice.

There are too many variables here. What’s your equipment in your office system? Adding a streamer will get you better sound versus streaming through your iPad/iPhone, especially if you’re using the headphone Jack. Yuck. I even bought a higher-quality lightning adapter to USB and hooked to a good DAC, but using a separate streamer was at another level entirely. Last, give Qobuz a free trial — most of us much prefer it to Tidal and they have a lot more hi-res content and none of the MQA BS. |
@cincyjim If you want a nice upgrade swap out the Camera Adapter for this and you’ll hear more of everything. |
