Sound quality:
- I am very impressed compared to other DACs most balance. Whether jazz, pop, classical or just Internet radio - it just fits. Even with 128kbps internet radio you get even a surprisingly good sound.
- The sound of the Internet streaming via a HiFi provider (streaming CD-quality) is coming out for my standards but breathtaking. Openness, transparency, dynamics -> just great.
Operation:
- The AirDAC automatically activates the input on which it receives a signal. (If multiple signals coming simultaneously prioritizes). Therefore, you do not need an extra remote control.
- Music in high-resolution format 96kHz / 24bit works.
My approach: MacBook connected to the optical input of AirDAC. Remote control of the MacBook with the iPad (RemoteApp). The iPad supplies the full view of the tracks, albums, Covers etc. sound in high resolution, remote control with high-end display. What more do you want.
- For smartphone contaminated families: Each family member may couple the AirDAC with the own smartphone, etc. and play your own songs or stream without the stereo system to handle wireless. The stereo system itself can - except for the boxes - away from children are in an adjoining room is how fearless high-end of fathers
My conclusion: Whoever is looking for a device can go wrong at this price nothing.
