OP, for iOS the TEAC HR Audio Player app could be what you are looking for.
Adding streaming services to a streamer via usb
Is there a way to add streaming services to a streamer that are not native to the streamer? Many streamers don't come with native support of some streaming services, in my case Qobuz or Amazon Music. Is there a way to add those services to a usb drive, connected to the streamer, so that I can access them "natively", without having to Airplay the content at a lower resolution?
My streamer is a ModWright modded Oppo Sonica.
Thank you,

I’d advise caution re: running another server/streamer into the USB port (especially an extensively modded unit like yours) - I could not get Volumio to recognize a connection with the DAC via USB (digital coaxial worked fine), but admittedly I just switched to another on-hand DAC before sending Volumio a log report on the Oppo USB matter. I keep intending to get back to that for curiosity’s sake, but always get lost in the music instead. 😅 Please consider keeping this thread posted, @cdtd , as there are still many Oppo DAC users out there - it’s a great piece of kit IMO (less the blasted server/streamer feature). I almost picked up a second unit with the same tube mod you have, but as I go to line-level-in on my powered subs, having tubes in that pathway made no sense (to clarify: in my use case - to each their own on that matter/preference!). I hope to see follow up here. Thank you for posting.
Addendum: obviously the routes suggested above for streaming via a phone may well suffice for you, too. |
Amazon Music is a problem as while you are able to stream from your phone or tablet to a DLNA enabled device there is a loss in quality. I finally just purchased a small Windows fanless computer to run Amazon Music over USB and then control it from my laptop using RemotePC. The Amazon app doesn't sound quite as good as the Qobuz app in an A B comparison but it's really close and without the AB comparison undetectable.

Google Chromecast sounds excellent and doesn’t require a physical connection. The new CA streamers in the $500 range do Chromecast. Might be worth the investment by the OP just for that and AirPlay ( not as good as Chromecast but definitely better than Bluetooth). If the OP likes the new streamer he can sell off the old one |
