@dunkin I love the Spotify playlists playing music at random. They offer a much better variety of topics to choose from and then they individualize the number of playlists as I recall which are very good. Playlists on Q or T are not as good. I was able to transfer many Spotify playlists over to qobuz. I thought Spotify was going to offer hi-fi at some point. If you buy a streamer, probably will be a lot better than an iPad especially if you have McIntosh and a chord dac ( I have a TT two Hugo chord, and a lumin x1 streamer/dac that I like a lot more). I also have blue sound which was kind of crappy. The commentary here in related to a streamer I found especially helpful and prepared by people who really know what they’re doing. Who knows maybe there’s a billionaire that’s writing a comment. Streamers do a lot of stuff. I also enjoy exploring endless rabbit holes which require additional fees to open up new tunnels and some tunnels are extremely expensive to explore. Unfortunately, the tunnels are so complicated that you probably will not be able to escape. So I would approach this Area carefully. |

To the OP: a good lawyer doesn’t just answer your question if there’s a problem with the premise embedded in your question. Similarly for good audiophiles. As many have told you, if you stream using Spotify, you’re wasting your money if you spend more than Wiim (or RPi) money on a dedicated streamer. Spotify streams at about the same rate as the high option for Youtube! If you ever solve/change your music source, come on back - there’s a lot of nuance - and some disagreement among members - regarding exactly how much and in what use cases dedicated streamers can make a significant difference. |
