I have a wireless rDAC and it sounds great,I love it! I dont know the specs, but I don't feel I'm missing anything...
Arcam rDac + rWave- good? and really lossless?
I am in a bit of quandary on what to do- here's the problem:
I travel to europe a lot for work and have a little studio apartment where i set up a small system consisting of unison research cd player, unison research unico SE integrated, and focal micro utopia BE's.
So far so good but i go back and forth so much i am tired of brining CD's back and forth with me- so i was thinking of either ripping all my music to MacAir or even better to an external drive and then just getting a usbdac to play my music off of the computer.
However, the added issue is that the stereo is literally across the room from where i sit and i often need my computer while i listen to music- so now i need a way to connect my computer to the dac/stereo across the room and it is no small distance- and thus i started looking at the arcam solution with the rWave streaming wirelessly across the room to the rDac.
But will it cut it? Is it lossless as they claim?
I do not want to compromise sound quality if i can avoid it.
The other thought is getting an iPod classic (160GB), loading it up in the apple lossless format and then getting a dock that will bypass the internal dec + analogue circuitry and then hooking up to a dac that way (peachtree idac looks like a good all in one alternative).
I would like to keep budget to around $1000 or less for DAC.
Anyone heard the arcam rdac/rwave combination?
And or have any other suggestions of what i should look into?
Thx in advance!!
