  1. Good point. I'm committed to Apple anyway and have no intention of moving to Android or PC platforms at any time. Double the price of the Veetop and Neet devices but I assume a much better dac chipset.
  2. Afternoon all and apologies if the following enquiry is fairly basic, however I'm an old school vinyl and cd audiophile and networking is a mystery to me. As a secondary source of music I'm thinking of subscribing to the lossless streaming service called Tidal. I use Apple devices at home. At the moment the choice seems to be between buying something like an Arcam miniblink and streaming via bluetooth without the aptx codec (as Apple don't support it on the iPad), or getting a much cheaper device such as Neet or Veetop, with an inferior dac chipset, but with the ability to support lossless airplay. Any thoughts on whether it's better to live with the inevitable compression via bluetooth supported by a superior dac, or to use airplay via the inferior dac? Music is to be streamed to a high-end hi-fi set up but I don't expect to recreate what I get from my turntable or SACD player. It's for 'casual' listening. The alternative of course is Spotify with its 320kbps compression. Many thanks in advance.
