Lossless iTune music

Do you listen mobile device music from your system?  I use ipad instead of CD player now.  I rip music from CD to lossless file in computer then import to iTune and Bluetooth stream music from iPad to my system.  I tried Tidal, but didn’t like to pay $19 a month subscription fee.  If you store hifi music on mobile device, where do you get it from?  Thanks

Sorry to burst your bubble. Bluetooth is not lossless! 

Moblie devices do not have enough memory for storing much in the way of lossless music.

you could plug a DAC into your tablet - use the Toslink port to get galvanic isolation

When I play music on my big rig, that is playing from my iPod, or friend's iPhones when they visit, I connect the iPod/iPhone through a Nuforce iDo. The iDo accepts either a 30 pin - USB, or Lightning - USB cable and it extracts bit perfect digital signal from the iPod/iPhone. It has a built-in DAC, but I don't use it. I use the digital coax out of the iDo into my DAC.

Very good sound from a portable device, especially when playing anything lossless. Of course, anything I play that is a lossy format is less good sounding....

I don't use this setup for most listening. But it is a major convenience when friends come over and want to share their tunes. It's also great from streaming Radio Paradise using the iPod/iPhone RP App.
