B-flat,
If I go with CDM and Layla's, what is your preference for the transporter? I have an iPhone 6 at present and will get the 7 when it appears. Is it a significant improvement to store and play my music files from another transporter like the Onkyo or whatever you might suggest? This will be for travel and walking in addition to sitting at the piano and listening to tonal variations of other musicians. So in terms of bulk, less is more. I had thought of just getting the AK240, but it sounds like you found it a bit muddy in the mids and lows as I recall.
Thanks,
Luke
Since CDM only accepts USB, it won't matter what your source is because it's just passing bits. iPhone should be fine, but you will need the Onkyo HF app in order to get full sampling rates. If your lossless music fits on your iPhone, there's no reason for you to spend more money on another transport. You will need a CCK lightning cable and Moon Audio has a good blog that explains how it all works. They sell the cables too.
