Hello all,
I am stepping up my audio to the following arrangment:
QUESTION:
I have also upgraded my Mac mini to an M2. I currently stream Apple Music through this main setup above, and I use AIRFOIL to throw the music around my house (Downstairs open baffle custom speakers on Musical Paradise tubes, a Bluetooth speaker in the dining room to fill out the area, my office, etc.
My Priorities are:
1: Perfect Sound in the main setup listed above
2: Ease of use (Apple Music is not easy to use in this system! I need to screenshare to my mini using an iPad... --not elegant. I would prefer Spotify's setup, where I understand I could use your phone to control the mini music server, but I understand Spotify quality is not so good...?
3: For the secondary sound areas, I would like to have music streaming easily (airfoil sorta accomplishes this).
I would love it if my secondary sound areas could have as good a stream as my primary, but not sure what can accomplish this.
In the past I used Tidal and Audirvana, and I thought it sounded quite good... but then I tried Apple Music when it went lossless.... would like to reconsider this branch of my setup.
Any Advice you fantastically fanatical Audiophiles????!!!!
Thank you!
Richard
