I didn't know which forum section to ask this question so apologies for it being here...
... what do you use to control your streaming music an ipad or a tablet?
This week i've bought Bluesound's Node 2 and have been introduced to the world of music streaming and controlling your hifi through ipad/tablet using NAS drives as well. But do i go out and buy an ipad or do i buy an android tablet? Does it make any difference to sound quality? I'm guessing not as you'd only be using it as a remote rather than a source for your music.
In one store they said a tablet wouldn't be appropriate as the OS swallows up the HD and so when using the ap as a control it'd end up being very slow and so suggested an ipad (which was cheaper). But I'm thinking, how bad/inappropriate could a tablet be when people can use their phones as a remote.
Basically what I want to do is buy a tablet or ipad that I can dedicate to the hifi for people to use when listening to music. That way all other pc's in the house are for work not play. If you do use an ipad or a tablet, what spec do you use so I can know what to look out for when shopping.
thank you!
