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? 

Ciao

@cincyjim If you want a nice upgrade swap out the Camera Adapter for this and you’ll hear more of everything.

I have read on the Qobuz website that the only way to stream wirelessly Hi Res 24 bit from an iOS device is by using google chromecast - is that the case ?  Anyone know how to do that with an iPad?  Appreciate any tips.

It could be. Airplay is limited to 16/44.1

Are you using AirPlay, or Bluetooth, or a digital wired connection between the DAC and the iPad?

Streaming over Wifi from your iPad to a Wiim Mini Pro would give you 192kHz, 24-bit audio for $99. The Wiim iOS app works really well. I use it mostly with a small system when traveling but it works perfectly in my main system, as well.
