There will be hiccups along the way when it comes to support for MQA, DSD, or new casting methodologies like Tidal Connect - which allow you to stream directly from the native app on your laptop, iPad Pro, or mobile phone to a 3rd party hardware device like a streamer.
A high price does not guarantee support for every streaming service like Qobuz or Tidal, or support for AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Tidal Connect, Spotify Connect, Bluetooth aptX or aptX HD. That dilemma also applies to high-end digital streamers as well. Digital music streamers are one of the fastest growing categories in consumer audio and while the vast majority of listeners are perfectly content with using their laptops, tablets, and smartphones, the reality is that there isn’t one perfect platform that can work flawlessly with every format or streaming service.
