Beat me to it. Thanks to Amir I added a Topping E30 to my Node.
An odd thing to say.
How do you propose sending hi-def audio from an iPhone or iPad running the streaming apps to a USB desktop app, wirelessly?
Just bought one!
It says that they overestimated the demand. I see comments on Amazon dating back to 2017... Not a new product, probably end of life. Five years in you would expect any manufacturer to liquidate. They probably really like what they read here tough...
Thank you, just ordered one, the 99$ includes free shipping, it is remanufactured with 1 year warranty at that price.

just ordered one, no problem.
That sentence should have started as "NAD's SINAD is limited...."
Pssst. Don't say anything about some measurements at less than 0dbfs being squeezed in. Maybe nobody will notice.
Yeah but 40 meters is really not much in reality, as NO device ever seems to really go the entire distance they claim to go.
This is point to point streaming tough, same band but not technically "WIFI". Don't know about the audio engine, and I am not fully sure what tech uses this NAD but there are many wireless microphones systems nowadays that do point to point in the 2.4 GHz band with absolute robustness. What you describe is absolutely not a fatality, the D2 was just a poor design if it behaved that way. I don't know about this one but I don't see this pop up in Amazon's complains. A few units seem to die early tough which could be a concern. The big discount on refurbs suggest a fair amount of returns too but I wouldn't jump to conclusions. Amazon reviews are not Data, unhappy people always are the loudest online it don't give us an idea of the fail rate and general satisfaction looks high.That sentence should have started as "NAD's SINAD is limited...."
I had an AudioEngine D2 Music Streamer which achieved similar goals using selective WiFi frequency-hopping (72MHz@37Channels w/2MHz spacing) techniques.
It was said to be 24bit/96kHz [95.2kHz?] S/PDIF@192kHz. Said to achieve performance competing at CD specification levels.
Except that you could not use the system starting around 1800Hours due to the neighborhood WiFi "rush hour"!
Meh!
Sounds like we're back to the Airplay argument....
The hardware streamer with their dedicated app is useless to me. How am I going to find new artists and playlists, read track/artist notes, view stream numbers on a hardware streamer?
I don't understand what you are saying, You say you don't want your computer, but this is a computer soundcard, I't's meant to stream music from a computer. With your computer player. Or your computer Browser. You say "How am I going to find new artists find playlists, etc on a hardware streamer?" Hardware streamer do just that, not needing a computer, but instead being able to get musing from the cloud or any hard drive,be remote controlled from a phone or tablet, browse trough streaming services playlist, etc. Are you sure you purchased the right product?
It’s a USB sound module, computers are not only desktop or laptop type. iPad is a computer too, so is an iPhone. If they have implemented properly an USB DAC doesn’t require a separate driver. I am hoping that it will work with an iPad.
