Hi all,
I’ve been a Spotify user for a while and have started a free trial with Tidal to see if their Masters tracks are worth an upgrade to. It seems I’ve descended down another rabbit hole, with regards to actually being able to access the benefits of the full hi-res audio...
I have an iPhone X and have been currently streaming to a Marantz SR7012, in the living room (Sonos round the rest of the house). Admittedly, my Marantz/Dali set up has been all about movies so far, so I haven’t looked into audio too much.
So... do I need to buy a DAC to be able to stream directly from the Tidal App, into my Marantz and hear the full, Masters goodness?! If so, would the £75 AudioQuest DragonFly do the job? If I bought this, or anything similar you guys might recommend, am I good to go to get the highest quality available?
I’m a complete novice with all of this, so would really appreciate someone explaining how it all works!
Thanks very much in advance,
Neil
