So would a dedicated streamer enable me to use the phone as a remote? I would like to be able to have a remote.
Yes. A dedicated streamer like the one I mentioned above solves all your problems and then some.
Help streaming Qobuz through Macbook Pro
Okay, I’m just starting my streaming adventure and I’ve spent days down the rabbit hole. I’m using Qobuz from my iPhone to my MacBook Pro laptop, which is connected to a Mytek Liberty DAC, which is connected to my Plinius 8200 integrated amp. It took some doing but it plays and really enjoying Qobuz. My question is: how can I be sure (other than by listening) that the Qobuz high-resolution resolution files are playing at the highest resolution per Qobuz? I am using Airplay but I keep reading it doesn’t handle files higher than CD resolution. Then I also read where using an external DAC enables the files to play at up to 24/192 (or whatever the original resolution is). I’m really only interested in streaming if I can do it with high -resolution. Any insights/suggestions/clarifications to help me burrow out of this hole is appreciated. Thanks

If you’re at all serious about sound quality just ditch the Mac and get a dedicated streamer that you can control with your iPhone using Qobuz at full high res. It’s easier, more convenient, and it’ll sound better. You can get a new Bluesound Node for $349 and be done with all this. |
