This little gem would unleash a huge catalog of digital music files that are currently locked on my iPhone and IPad. I like to entertain and have dinner parties, but it's no fun with poor quality digital streaming options. The Arcam airDAC would be a huge hit and be the icing on the cake for my Denon system.
I'd connect the Arcam airDAC to my Pioneer AVR and use it to enjoy music from my iPhone while sitting on my patio (I have "B" speakers wired to my patio from the AVR)!
I would use this in conjunction with several uPnP sources I have to connect to my primary (best) system to show off to the neighbors whose the fidelity boss.
This would solve the worst problem anyone can have - - frustrated wife! We have a 9yr old daughter and 2 yr old triplets, so my wife and i(more my wife) are running in circles and look at every opportunity to simplify our lives. A couple of years ago, I inherited from my grandfather a macintosh ma5100 amp and 2 Klipsch Heresy speakers. These are very sentimental for me so my wife tolerates the old look and technology because she knows how important they are to me. Currently I only have a turntable hooked in as a source. She would love to play HER music through the system, but it's not convenient. It would make it SO much better for her to be able to use airplay from her iPhone or Ipad from wherever she is watching the kids to play music. Also, the little one's favorite thing to do is dance!!! More dancing means less fighting, crying, climbing, etc etc - it sounds silly but this little device could help change our lives. Also, with triplets, you can imagine cash is tight, so luxury items are not in the budget - only diapers, wipes, and milk! Please consider us - you could bring joy to a wife and family that very much deserves it!
This is exactly what I need. I am finishing building a house. I have put ceiling mounted speakers in three rooms and have run the wires back to a room under the stairs. I need this to be able to run music wireless less to my amp from our phones. Great device for my application.
