You are streaming straight from the ipad. iTunes tracks must be stored on them.
Last time I checked it out, iTunes is only mp3, so that gives you subpar quality.

Thanks, I had thought about it streaming directly from ipad but it actually sounds very good, too good actually so I am very surprised at the sound.
That tells you how 'bad' mp3 is.

No it doesn't, it sounds actually very good and not at all sounding like MP3, maybe testament to how good the Devialet makes it sound, well musical.

Mp3 gets a lot more bad publicity than it deserves. There are many 'CD quality' recordings that sound horrible and there are plenty of mp3's that sound quite good. It's all in the recording/mastering. I would say for SQ it's recording first, format second.
