I use an iMac and AirPlay to transmit to an Apple TV3, then via the optical connection to a Simaudio 300D and to either a Simaudio i-5 LE or a Cayin A-50T integrated. It's extremely convenient and I do think it sounds at least 90% as good as going directly from my Simaudio Moon Neo CD player to the DAC.
iPad as music server/player Airplay to Mcintosh MAC7200 upto audiophile quality?
Hi Everyone:
I am a minimalist. Seeking the simplest system chains to reach or surpass CD quality( 44.1khz/16 bid).? Already has a Mcintosh MAC7200 integrated (w. built in DAC)+JBL synthesis speakers.
If I use iPad air2 (TIDAL)airplay---- AppleTV3 optical link to------ Mcintosh MAC7200(built in DAC), Will this front end source chain reaches 90%(equal or better than Red book CD) quality? If a iPad pro or any other simple low cost device(like a microRendu) will improve the source chain a lot more?
I really like the iPad/Airplay convenience. Any input will be appreciated .
Thanks
