Hello Devialet chatters,
I have been very satisfied with SQ of AIR ethernet using Amarra/Audirvana Plus. I like AIR ethernet using Mac mini while I also have Melco N1A. The other day, I tried iPad as a music server and found the sound quality is very good. It is better than AIR ethernet using Amarra/Audirvana.
In the past, storage size of iPad/iPhone was an issue for storing all the music library. Now that iPad with 512GB storage can be purchased less than USD1000, iPad can be a good battery-driven music server. There seems to be few discussions about iPad/iPhone music server at least recently and I would like to hear your thoughts.
Is anyone using iPad/iPhone music server?

Hi
How are you using the iPad?
The only way I can see is using the camera connection kit and USB.
Could be interesting now Roon will play to iOS endpoints?
Cheers

Chris,
When using Devialet iOS remote, you can select source under volume section. Tap source (Ethernet, USB, AES/EBU or whatever) and select "My Music." Now you can stream your choice of music from your iPad/iPhone to Devialet using AIR. Camera connection kit is not required. Please try and let me know what you think.
Best regards,
Umetaro
I remember back when Absolute Sounds were importing the D-Premier, and soon after I bought my first one, they were doing a demonstration at Oxford Audio.
Whilst Ricardo was playing a file from his phone one person attending the demo was heard to say how much better digital was with high res. He had assumed he was listening to the expensive server when in fact it was a ripped CD from a phone sounding splendid.
I enjoy music this way from time to time still.

f1eng,
Thanks for your comment. When D240 was launched in 2013, Devialet had a new product event in Tokyo. They used iPhone to stream music to Devialet and impressed the audience. However, iPhone only had small storage at the time and no one took it seriously as a main music server. Now with larger storage iPad available, this could be a primary music server. I really like the sound quality.
