Hi there,
For a few days I've been exploring the route of wifi enabling my DAC, and I could not find any clear solution. What I need exactly is a dongle that would take any wi-fi signal, like from my Android tablet, and output it through usb connection to the USB input of my DAC.
I've read that it is possible to use regular TV signal transmitters connected to coax input but I have some doubts regarding this method.
Generally, there are many wifi dongles that connect through USB but they all need some kind of software to be installed, so they will not really work when plugged into a DAC.
What I think would be needed is a usb powered wifi dongle running some kind of server, something along the line of this: http://liliputing.com/2012/06/pocket-tv-usb-stick-turns-a-tv-into-an-android-powered-pc.html but dedicated for audio, rather than TV.
Is anyone aware of any such product?
PS. It seems that Arcam sells wifi dongle for their rDac but I'm not sure if it would work with other DACs, and I was hoping to find something cheaper.
