Apple iPad music streamer


Hello,

I am currently using an iPad to an external DAC streaming Qobuz @ 24/192. It sounds amazing! Anyone else using an iPad as a streamer? I am wondering if buying a dedicated music streamer would improve my listening?

Cool 😎 jbs, 

Recently discovered the Node. It’s on my short list. I am not wanting to spend 3-5,000 on a music streamer DAC at this time. The pursuit of audio nirvana is never ending! 

I use the Tidal app on an iPad Mini over WiFi to a Node 2i streamer with a coax connection to a Bel Canto Dac 3. It works flawlessly for my uses, I find the size of the iPad Mini preferable to a standard iPad since it's easy to hold in one hand while navigating the app with the other. 

To confirm, you are using an iPad with the camera kit dongle to USB to your DAC?

 

I ask because I am looking to do this as I only use Apple Music for streaming (I'm mainly vinyl)

Yes. I’m using lightning camera kit. The iPad is operating on battery power and was considering buying camera kit charger combo dongle. Apple Music using the iPad dongle will stream up to 24/192.
