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?

@jssmith If you don't mind me asking, what streamer or streamer/dac are you using these days?  I had somebody get pretty upset (not here) when I asked them what they were using after they had a similar take on digital streaming gear.  They had said it doesn't matter and any cheap one would do and when I asked what they had, they had a fairly pricey streamer.  Seems a bit hypocritical but what do I know?

@jssmith Thank you sir, I have a SMSL DAC as well (DO200) and it sounds pretty good to me.  I am on the lookout for a DAC/Streamer to consolidate my system to save on space.
