Streamer question

Thank you all for your replies.  I need to clarify;

I use the Node for streaming only.  The output goes to a highly modified MHDT Orchid.

All I really want is a better streamer and I'd like the option of using the Spotify app or the Qobuz app and not proprietary software, i.e., "Conductor."

Right now I turn on my Ipad select the Qobuz or Spotify app and within the app select the Node as the output device.  I'm happy with both apps.

Thanks glennewdick, you're doing what I'm wanting to do, just with a better streamer.

More clarification here.

If I want to listen to Spotify or Qobuz I access their app on my Ipad.  I do not use the Bluesound software at all.  When I log in to either service it recognizes the Blusound as an output device so I select it. 

I am using and am happy with, and want to continue using the web apps.  I do not want to use either the Bluesound app or any other software.

audphil1,

Thank you.  I thought I was using the ipad as a remote control and that the Qobuz and Spotify apps in the Bluesound were still running. 

I'll give it a try today.
