Bluetooth streaming

Opinions please!
Im streaming Spotify from my iPad to a rocketfish Bluetooth receiver,into a moon 100 d dac,into my preamp.Some music sounds pretty good while other songs just sound bad?I guess my question is ,would a better dac make a difference?Is it possible to clean up this source somewhat,or is this just a bad way to stream music?Thanks in advance!

I have been absolutely delighted and happy with the Auris bluMe Bluetooth DAC. It is a audiophile grade DAC with AKM chip inside. I use Android phone and tablet to stream my music. Highly recommended.

Be warned that Bluetooth is lossy and compressed.

I stream Spotify from my Android tablet through a yamaha blutooth Rx via coax to my NAD M 51 dac and it sounds pretty good but no where near CD......it's good for casual listening and I can control play via my tab so it's convenient

@shadorne,
Completely agree with you on bluetooth being lossy and compressed. But you shoud try that with a good Bluetooth DAC and tablet that are both aptX compliant. You will be surprised.

Milpai,
I never heard about the auris,but will check it out!Im addicted to steaming music because it's just so easy!Getting the best sound possible from it is what I'm wanting.Im sure that 40$ RF box is the weak link?
