Reading this while listening to my Node 2i streaming internet music (Radio Swiss Jazz) to a recently acquired (Cyber Week) Wyred4Sound mPre made me realize that there is a DAC input in the mPre. So changed the hook up to digital out of the node to the digital in of of the mPre. Think sound is better. Speakers are Madisound BK16 and amps are Amp Camp monos.
Point of higher priced streamer?
Hello,
Assuming I have separate DAC, and I just want to play songs from iPad by Airplay feature.
In this case, I need a streamer to receive music from my iPad -> DAC.
What’s the point of high price streamer? I’m bit surprised that some streamers are very high priced.
From my understanding, there should be no sound quality difference.
(Streaming reliability and build quality, I can see it but I do not see advantages in terms of sound quality.)
Am I missing something? If so, please share some wisdom.
