iPad Streams High-Resolution Audio to Benchmark DAC1
iPad Music Server
A simple USB adapter made by Apple can enable the iPad to connect directly to a Benchmark DAC1.
Using this adapter, the iPad can transparently stream high-resolution digital audio to the USB input of Benchmark converters. Once this connection is established, it is also possible to wirelessly stream a 96-kHz, 24-bit audio to the iPad and out to the DAC without losing sonic quality.
This application note explains the simple set-up and shows proof of performance.
