    Experimenting with an inexpensive wireless DAC transmitter from NAD

    Just got (99$ CDN) a NAD Wireless DAC 2. Very basic addition to my otherwise totally wired setup in a reading room (vintage Yamaha C-45 pre-amp, a universal audio disc player, even a MiniDisc home deck :E , Emotiva 2 channel amp) to stream newly lossless Apple Music service from my work space nearby. Hope to get it all up and running soon. Certainly nothing cutting edge, but will greatly expand my music library in that spot.

    Interesting little device! What sort of distance are you looking at operating this?

    Not quite that inexpensive in the states though, I'm seeing it for $250 here.

      Hmm. It retailed at 199$CDN when new in 2016, but now is usually listed for the 99$ I paid for it (was the main reason I got it). I've got line of sight between the two pieces at about 5-6 feet max, so I fully expect it to work seamlessly from the wireless transmission point of view. Apple Music just went lossless about a month and a half ago, so this will allow me to stream from my laptop or iPad at a minimum of 16/44.1 all the way to 24/96 (some Apple lossless music is listed at 24/192, but I'm not that fussy for this particular setup). Again, not cutting edge, but certainly convenient.

Both use 802.11n for wireless connectivity. I’m currently using a MacMini as a music server and I was thinking of adding an AirPort Express to be...

        wma vs wma lossless
        by SteveA
        I have a question or two about wma vs wma lossless encoding. I just set up a new PC. I have a wireless router to use, primarily, for the Squeezebox I just bought.

        I ripped a CD just to go thru the process (bit of a newbie here) and noticed that the file extension was .wma. Playing...

        KEF Wireless System
        by Pookie007
        Has anyone used the Kef wireless system for their rear speakers. the system consists of a transmitter and two receivers that operate in the 2.4GHz range. I think the suggested retail is around $600. I play audio in 2 channel, so this would only be used for HT applications. I think the $600 might...

        Suggestions for wireless rear passive speaker set up on a Denon X6700H AVR
        by Oldtexasdog
        I have a nice pair off Bookshelves on stands (Sunfire CRM2) and am using as rear surrounds. I did this with a Dynasty Proaudio transmitter and 50 watt amp receiver it came with. It just does not have the power to drive the CRM2 speakers on a equall or I should say balanced footing with the rest of the...
