Hi guys,
Current set up as per signature - but includes Caspian Pre/Power Amplifier and Castle Richmond Speakers.
Over the next couple of weeks I am looking to add either a Sonos Bridge & ZP90 or a 160Gb Apple TV (1st Generation) both of which will be controlled by the relevant IPad App and will also stream music from Spotify Premium.
At the moment I am verging on the Apple TV as I do not need multi room music (till we move house later next year). 1st question is will the Apple TV allow me to stream BBC iPlayer / 4OD etc?
I also want to add a DAC to the setup to sit between the ATV and Amps however I am completely lost on where to start or which of the many choices would be the better choice. All my music is saved as Apple Lossless.
I would like the full gambit of connections ideally, including USB, and also feel it would be beneficial to get a DAC which will allow me to stream High Res music in the future (I don't have any at the moment, but you never know)
I know there is likely to be differing opinions on sound etc but can anyone suggest where would be a good idea to start on the Demo front? I suppose it goes without saying the REGA DAC should be on the demo list, although I am not sure I want to spend that much at the present time. Is it really as good as everyone says?
What other DAC's would people suggest for my set-up?
