IPad Pro to preamp


I listen 95% vinyl 5% CD but recently signed up with Amazon HD to stream music in my car. I like that you can make playlists and was wanting to know how can I connect my iPad to my preamp to stream without buying a Node or other streamer. And what would the sound quality be. My iPad doesn’t have a headphone Jack so the 3.5 to RCA cable is not an option.

I just looked at the WiiM Mini, that's pretty cool. My first foray into streaming was was with an Apple Airport Express 2 (802.11n Wi-Fi Base Station 2nd Gen A1392) that performed the same function. They were discontinued in 2018 but still available on ebay for around $50. I believe it came with a  3.5mm to 2-Male RCA Adapter to plug into the pre-amp.

I was a little late to streaming. I originally did it so my daughter who was 15 at the time could stream her music from her iPhone. According to her, I only listened to music by dead people. She was wrong of course, they were only mostly dead.

 

 

Thank you all wish I had my old A77 I only want to stream because I can make playlist I love my vinyl have around 1500+ albums. I’m 67 so vinyl is my main source. But think I’ll bite the bullet and get a Bluesound Node my son has the Power Node and loves it. Just like that I can make a 3 hour playlist so I just sit back and listen. Just don’t know if I’ll be happy with the sound have a Rega Apollo CD player that only gets used every 3 or 4 months. We will see. Amazing to have so much music at your fingertips I have Amazon HD. Once again thank everyone for your input.
