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.
