It appears Apple is pushing the Sonus Port on their site. Anyone have experience using this to stream Apple Music through their home system?
Streaming Music through my home stereo
Ok, researching this streaming music thing is giving me a headache. I really know nothing about it. Right now I have my iPad connected to my Rogue Pharaoh integrated amp via a Y jack streaming Apple Music. It works, but I'm sure there's something better.
I've been a fan of Apple Music so I hate to change, but I keep hearing about Bluesound Node 2i. Is this piece compatible with Apple Music and if not what is? Is there something out there that I can control with my iPhone?
Thanks for the help...

The simple solution would be to stream wirelessly via Bluetooth from the iPad to a Bluetooth receiver plugged into the Pharaoh using a stereo mini to dual RCA cable. That limits the quality of any files that are of higher resolution than MP3 or Apple Music's proprietary AAC format but if Apple Music is your primary source the quality should be quite acceptable. Here are a couple of well-reviewed options at different prices. The Audioengine B1 has the advantage of using Bluetooth with APTX which should make a small but noticeable difference. https://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/bluetooth-audio-adapter https://audioengineusa.com/shop/adapters/b1-bluetooth-music-receiver/ |
The most important thing by far with streaming is just to get the stream going. Anything beyond that is icing on the cake. You guys will understand when you get a little older. I don't know if you will ever be able to control it from your iPhone. But if you can get it to play a waterfall track that will probably help. |
