WiFi is inherently unstable in comparison to an Ethernet connection. You are potentially fixing a small issue and replacing it with a bigger one.

Even then are you sure that the Apple Music app isn't limited on Android?

Its Blues all the way today

Yes but @Wiimer isn't and it was his post that I was responding to about the external DAC. I thought he was using an Apple iDevice but it seems not. If anyone is using an Android to try to play Apple Music at HiRes then I very much doubt it will work at the HiRes sought.

I thought we were talking about Apple Music and therefore an iDevice !!

I am well aware of that but what you ended up doing wasn't entirely clear. A USB->Optical into the Ultra should work like any other external DAC connected to an iDevice. Apple really do want to make it difficult though.

Are you using an external DAC? The max ouput of an iDevice is otherwise 24/48

I am not generally a big fan of these sort of Various Artist Compilation Box Sets but this one I picked up perhaps 10 years ago is something of an exception. OK the SQ on some of the tracks leaves a bit to be desired but given the studio equipment available at the time of recording but they are...

British Blues at its best. ♪ Playing Hey Woman by Paul Lamb & The King Snakes from Shifting Into Gear (1997) (Local • 927kbps VBR, 16bit, 44.1kHz, -5.64dB, FLC) Here I am listening via Lyrion using iPeng on an old iPod Touch piggy backed onto a Topping NX1s and my favourite headphones- a pair...

Rather than the Cubilix thing I'd use a FiiO KA11 but recognise that it doesn't provide simultaneous charging. USB-C or Lightning options available. To me the question is moot as I don't use Apple Music and I CAN fully control an iDevice from another iDevice by using iPeng on one as the play...

My reading of this - https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/iphone/iphd9bc05ba9/ios#:~:text=You%20can%20remotely%20control%20your,Fi%20network%20as%20your%20iPhone. - is that it should be possible to control one iPhone/iPad from another iPhone/iPad if both are on iOS 18+. I have no way of testing...

A guilty pleasure of mine!

One of the very first albums I ever bought was Best of Cream - the one with the vegetables on the cover. I played it to death with the result that when I hear any Cream track that is on it I expect to hear the next track played to be as per that album. By coincidence I needledropped the...

Have a look at the FiiO DM13 - intended as a portable or desktop CD player. Has USB out for use with PC and also Analogue, Optical and Coax. Has a very small footprint. Not yet tried one myself but considering it.
