Do I Really Need a Dedicated Streamer?


Hello. I have my iPad connected via USB to my excellent Chord DAC. I use Spotify mainly to stream. Why do I need a separate streamer (Wiim or BludSound Node) to play my music? Is a streamer just a convenience?

@dunkin You ask do I need a dedicated streamer?

I answer, ‘No you do not.’

But I interpret those who have tried to counsel you on this matter, that, considering that you have a good DAC, amp, and speakers, if were to TRY a dedicated streamer (and perhaps some software delivering lossless audio), you would WANT a dedicated streamer. The sound is that much better. But far be it from me to tell you what to do. Be happy. Listen to the music.
