| Apple iPad music streamer I think the Node is Roon ready? I have a 1000 or so CD's and crates of vinyl. The convieance streaming offers discovering new music is endless, and the SQ so far is amazing. I'm anticapating Node arrival. | |
| Apple iPad music streamer I connected a MacBook pro USB out to a Intona isolator then to a external DAC. I used Audirvana to play Qobuz and DSD. It sounded very nice but I'm thinking the MacBook is a noisy transport. So, this journey continues, a Node is on the way. I am t... | |
| Apple iPad music streamer I have a Marantz external DAC, and plan to a/b with the Node DAC. Cat 8? My location doesn't allow for a LAN connection. I'm using WIFI but want to try a power line by Netgear. | |
| Apple iPad music streamer Thanks everyone for great suggestions and conversation. I ordered a bluesound node. I'm moving on up! Hey ghdprentice, what streamer cost $22,000? | |
| Apple iPad music streamer Noise! Battery is quieter? That's what I'm thinking, if I love what I'm hearing now, possibly a dedicated streamer would be nicer. Auralic lines their G2 interior with copper. Of course it's thousands of dollars. I'll pony up someday. | |
| Apple iPad music streamer Yes. I’m using lightning camera kit. The iPad is operating on battery power and was considering buying camera kit charger combo dongle. Apple Music using the iPad dongle will stream up to 24/192. | |
| Apple iPad music streamer Cool 😎 jbs, Recently discovered the Node. It’s on my short list. I am not wanting to spend 3-5,000 on a music streamer DAC at this time. The pursuit of audio nirvana is never ending! | |

| Apple iPad music streamer 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, ... | |
| Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh? I have a C29 preamp connected to a MC2100 amp, 1970's steely dan bliss. I love Mcintosh. Outstanding SQ, build quality, been running for decades without a moan of trouble. If you ever decide to part ways, high resale dollars are waiting.Turn it up! | |
| What makes the biggest difference in sound quality? A divorce. | |

| Musical Fidelity A220 integrated amp I agree it is a class A trait.This is my first class A amp, once warm it sounds glorious. I have become a huge fan of musical fidelity gear, the A220 concludes my journey. | |
| in search of audio nirvana ..... Floyd's dark side is on my list along with King Crimson's Islands. Haven't heard "at war with the mystics" I will fire up! Thanks. | |
| What are you using as a streamer? Constructive feedback please. I am WIFI streaming Apple music HI RES from iPad USB to Marantz HD DAC1. Sounds fantastic to my ears. I have also thought of a separate streamer but nothing on the market currently can play Apple music. I've subscribed to Tidal and Qobuz in the pa... |
