Apple iPad music streamer


Hello,

I am currently using an iPad to an external DAC streaming Qobuz @ 24/192. It sounds amazing! Anyone else using an iPad as a streamer? I am wondering if buying a dedicated music streamer would improve my listening?

The obvious benefit is that with a streamer you no longer must have your iPad tethered to your system (assuming your streamer provides an app that you can use on your iPad to control it).  

Sound quality?  What DAC are you currently using, and do you plan to use the same DAC with a streamer?  Or do you want a streamer/DAC combo?

 

How exactly are you connecting your iPad to the DAC? The main methods I know are lossy or analog neither is very good. 

I'm using a audioquest USB cable from the iPad to a Marantz HD-DAC1. Apple music and Qobuz both display a max resolution of 24/192khz when available. I agree I am tethered to the iPad. I can't find a remote app to control my iPad. I like the DAC, thinking about adding just a music streamer.
