I have done a listening shootout with Yamaha wxc50 with Flac from NAS, vs an Ipad pro with Apple Music lossless and an USB bridge to spdif called ” sky song” . Both players digital out to digital in in my Genelecs . The acoustical output from the loudspeakers were within 0.2 dB with both players.
The ipad with USB bridge wins handsdown, there is a rather big difference in better soundstage and dynamics . The USB bridge clocks are driven by a nine volt battery. With a switch you can easy compare the sound with the ipad powering the USB bridge, or using a battery for the clocks.
The difference is clear, with a better, more natural soundstage with batteries.
I was rather suprised that I could hear the difference so clearly.
