How to connect Tidal to DAC wireless via iPad

Hi system; amp, cary audio sl80 f1 sig, phone pre amp Manley Chinook, TT- VPI classic 3 w/ koetsu black cartridge, DAC audio mirror troubadour se III, Cullen cables, fritz carbon 7.mk Ii speakers. Question; using iPad wired direct to DAC via USB cable. I am new to digital. Is there a way to connect my iPad running Tidal via wireless device and still retain quality of sound that I am accustomed to? Thank you. Do not want to upgrade any components as they all seem to work well together. Thank you.

Surfmuz - will try both config connects and let you know. Be interesting to see how MQA plays out direct from node2 to pre-amp. TO everyone else, will post results later in terms of ease of use, set up (I am a true digital neophyte - and I am in the IT consulting industry!!) and above all sound quality.

You should try Qobuz, especially since you can’t use MQA anyway.

Thanks for everyone’s help. I went cat 5 >node2->coax->DAC audio mirror troubadour se III->preamp->etc.
Sounds good to me! Use iPad to connect wireless to router. Hope I connected everything in an ideal configuration? :-) thanks again for everyone’s help!
