For the time being I really like my wired connection...not a BT fan at the moment for my Car at least...

 

I totally agree. I was more suggesting  you to maybe add to DAC instead of the Jbug. ?

@HardrockInMiniMac If I remember correctly, you can search among @plissken many posts. I think you will find some confirmation there about your findings regarding wireless is the preferred way.

 

I personally prefer the JSGT with those very few known switches that do blocking and power the switch with a LPS-1. And I hope one day UpTone Audio will produse a switch according to how Superdad has suggested such an audiophile switch should be designed. 

 

Dedicated endpoints is almost certain the way to go for best SQ. 

 

You may find JSSG very helpfull on cabeling. Have a look in the DIY DC Power cable thread

Can anyone confirm this will show up as an endpoint ?

Wonder how that SPDIF SQ is ?

Maybe better than we would expect ?

 

EDIT

Just been confirmed it works only as AirPlay. 

(Not so good then)

I consider Google Chromecast Audio as better alternative, works from multiple OS and supports multiple sampling rates.

 

 .....and I understand Chromecast RAAT support is on the roadmap at Roon. 

As well we all understand RAAT will never be supported by Apple. 

Just think if it was.

 

Here is a true Apple faboy

and I cannot use another Apple device for a remote controller as far as I know.

 

If you use Roon, you can ?

 

(And probably no need for ISO regen, but it doesn’t hurt to try). 

 

Old iphone 5S, often broken glass etc is very cheap. Use that as endpoint. Any thing that look like a PC will serve you well as a Roon server for a start. 

 

Later you can start having fun with all sorts of upgrades.
