I'm outta touch, how's everyone streaming? - tyefighter - 22-Sep-2021 Hey everyone, it's been a while since I was on here last and I'm way out of touch. So looking for your advice if I may A few years ago I used to feed my D440 pro with a laptop running various playlists on Foobar but then I sent off for the CI upgrade and since it's return it's beem sat in the packaging unopened. In the meantime, I have been using apple music on my phone airdropped to a speaker due to the convenience So my question is what can I now do to utilise the CI upgrade board in terms of streaming music to the D440 pro? Had the board added some magic or if I want to control music remotely via iPhone is Roon my only option? RE: I'm outta touch, how's everyone streaming? - Jean-Marie - 22-Sep-2021 With the Ci, you can now listen to Apple Music using Airplay (I assume this is what you mean by ´airdrop’) This is one of my two ways of listening music, the other being Roon to listen to the music I have locally on my computer. Jean-Marie RE: I'm outta touch, how's everyone streaming? - David A - 22-Sep-2021 I use Roon to stream music from Qobuz and from my own files which are stored on a Roon Nucleus+. Both the Nucleus+ and my 140 with the CI board are connected to the network via ethernet. I control Roon with the Roon Remote app on an iPad.

Do you happen to know if it will support apples hi-res too?

Thanks David, I think this will be my eventual setup as I have a lot of my own files ...hoping Roon may have a Black Friday deal RE: I'm outta touch, how's everyone streaming? - Jean-Marie - 22-Sep-2021 (22-Sep-2021, 19:47)tyefighter Wrote:(22-Sep-2021, 06:27)Jean-Marie Wrote: With the Ci, you can now listen to Apple Music using Airplay (I assume this is what you mean by ´airdrop’) Absolutely you can select the music on your phone and Airplay it to the Devialet. (This is what am currently doing) As for high res, I believe Airplay is limited to 24bits and 48kHz, so there is resampling involved in the phone. Whether it matters or not is a question of opinion and taste. Jean-Marie |
