I really don't want to go as far as Roon, it's too big a commitment in terms of setting up a core, etc, and I don't really have a LAN, just CDs and streaming.ĭoes anyone have suggestions, or any knowledge to help me understand this landscape a bit more? App should be currently supported and easy to implement for a pigeon brain like mine, plug und play 😍 Interface should be as seamless as possible, and demand as few steps as possible to get the music going, ie not three or four steps before I hit play.ģ. Should allow stream direct to the DAC, using the tablet as controller onlyĢ. I've heard of Bubble UPnP, mConnect, Audirvana, JRiver, and a few others, and I'm pretty confused, so let me lay out my needs/expectations and maybe some kind and knowledgeable soul will save my butt here.ġ. Since there's no Tidal Connect built into the R26, I'm going to have to use a third party app to stream, but I still want to use the ipad (or an Android pad) as the controller.Īpologies, this is all really new territory, my geek is in other areas of the audio world. In the new setup, I'll be running ethernet directly into the R26, and will stream either Tidal or Qobuz. Currently using Tidal Connect through a ZenStream, with an ipad as the controller. I'm waiting on delivery of a new DAC, a Gustard R26, and will be changing up my streaming setup.
