Hi,
So this might seem a pretty basic question but I honestly don't know the answer. Might be because of the way I have my system set up.
So I have a PC hardwaired to a DAC via USB. I can play Spotify etc via the app.
I also have an IotaVX amp stack that can have Bluetooth connection. I know it's not the greatest connection available but I guess I can connect a phone or ipad to it and play wirelessly.
Many streamers have dacs and amps built in and I think that would be redundant or worst than what I'm using.
So judging by their price, what's their use case? Is a Bluesound Node something for people that don't want to plug a PC/laptop/Ipad to their system? Or does it replace a dac, adding the streaming capability?
In my case: PC--> Denafrips Ares II --> IotaVX --> speakers... is this something where you would use a music streamer with?
