Question regarding Spotify on iPad and run into my AVR.

[volcati]

Looking to run a DAC in between the iPad/Iphone into the AVR.

 

My AVR is a Pioneer Elite VSX-40 that came with Apple approved dock output to USB input.

 

I'm mostly running Spotify off the iPad and into the AVR. Sounds ok. Nothing like my Oppo or Pro-Ject TT. I was a good DAC to help the sound.

 

I'm thinking of these:

 

HRT--Istreamer $200

 

Peachtree DAC *It $449 (Have no read if it will support iPad, assuming it would?

 

XDA-1 Differential Reference™ Balanced Digital-to-Analog Converter/Digital Preamplifier $299 (Again, not 100% positive it would even work with what I need. (iPad/Spotify/DAC/AVR/Speakers)

 

Music Fidelity V-DAC

 

Any advice is appreciated.

 

Thanks

Mike
