Dilemma Solved :)
12/09/15 at 23:51:33

So my dilemma had been how to stream Tidal into my Zdsd. Before I had been using my Ipod hooked up to a Ipure 20 dock then coax to the zdsd. Well my ipure 20 broke and then I spent sometime trying to find a replacement and couldnt get something that I was looking for. I even considered buying the Decware cd240 since it could play ipod but I had no use for another dac. I gave it more thought and in the end I decided to buy a macbook air and bingo problem solved lol. I now can hook the laptop to the zdsd and stream tidal from the macbook into the zdsd. And bonus I have a laptop when I need it lol. So that was my dilemma and the way i solved it lol. Enjoy the holidays everyone

I have also used AUdio Gd sdpfi converter years ago with great results and have looked into getting their newest one or Anedio Spdif converter, I had that one for a while too and it was good though not cheap. Wyred for sound also has a nice looking spdif converter.

So go my macbook air 2014, form B&H Photo, who are just great to deal with, edition today and hooked it all up and its fantastic. I get to stream tidal and anything else internet related and I now also have a laptop for the go when I need it. I just run the laptop on battery and then charge it when I am not listening to music and I got a wyred for sound spdif converter on the way to replace my cheap 15 dollar one.

So nice to be using the Zdsd again after having only my ipod plugged into my csp3--torMKIV, nice improvement. Love decware gear very good sounding stuff

Have a great holiday everyone.
