Apple iPad music streamer

SFAR - you mention using an iPad with the Node 2i, which is what I do. Then you mention a Bel Canto DAC. Where does that come in. I connected the Node directly to my preamp assuming there was a DAC in the Node. Thanks

All I can say is that mConnect is klutzy, bettered by BubbleUPnP. HiFiCast is good for radio. Moode is not mobile friendly and buggy. Volumio does a few good things but is limited to Tidal and Qobuz for which you gotta subscribe unless you use BubbleUPnP (free) in front. I streamed off a computer for years, never going back. It would be just like going back to mp3’s. AM radio was where it was at until ’69, Brother  Love, KABC-FM. Get with the program.

You can spend as much as you want to but the returns are ever diminishing /$.

I would suggest a Cambridge CXNV2 STREAMER

snd use it hard wire to the internet

 

also you could send the Qobuz via the iPad wirelessly to the streamer

i have this streamer and it’s great got it for $1000!

Also the CXN V2 will update via the internet 

by a mere press of the controls 

 

it’s terrific I get hifi music from all over the world!as well.

BTW I LOVE QOBUZ!
