Hi,
I am looking for a wireless receiver so that I can play the music from my handphone and output through my Stereo amp.
I understand that connection via WIFI is preferred due to its speed and bandwidth. However, I still have the following questions:
1) Where is the DAC? Is the DAC done on my handphone or the receiver?
i) If the DAC is done at the handphone, then isn't the output is the same regardless of the medium? i.e. should the sound quality be the same via bluetooth or WIFI?
ii) If the DAC is done at the receiver, how further compression for bluetooth is being carried out since it is transmitting the raw data?
2) I saw AudioCast is cheaply available over the internet. Is there any different in sound quality with those of branded WIFI receiver that cost hundreds of dollars?
Regards.
