I want to use the Tidal music service but my dac

I get great sound from Wyred 4 Sound modified Sonos Connect, and great user interface.

I don't want to use a computer and don't have one for this application. I need a less complicated, one box solution. I want to avoid a converter also if possible.

Thanks Agoners.

Peter, the converter you listed is very inexpensive and while I wanted to stay away from one the price makes it a possible consideration. I wonder how it compares to an Offramp and other much more costly ones.

I need a less complicated, one box solution.

Grannyring, The Antipodes DX I am using is an outstanding sounding one-box solution that is extremely easy to operate. Once you start ripping your CD library by simply putting the disc in the slot at the front, you will shortly give up your CD player. Everything can be operated from your iPad or computer. The newer models have SPDIF outputs but USB is still their best sounding output. I would simply purchase the converter suggested above by Peter, or an off-ramp, to use with your Yamamoto DAC.

At a lower price point, I would look at their new upgraded DS model, which can be configured with up to 4TB of internal HDD storage, or can play from a NAS or external hard drive, or can stream from Tidal and others. Reviews of the previous DS model all say it beats the mini and my DX does for sure.Antipodes Home Page

The new Aurender N100 that streams or plays from a NAS also looks promising.

Thank you Mitch2 for the post. I bet the unit is awesome! I unfortunately cannot spend that kind of money and am looking at spending up to perhaps $2500 tops. I like $1000 - $1500 even more!

I won't rip CDs as I just don't want to go there at all. I really just want to listen to Tidal and I don't have a computer to use other than my iPad.

I do have a bunch of music already on an external hard drive back when I dove deeply into this sort of thing. I could play off it, but don't want to purchase downloads or rip anymore CDs in the future. It is just not for me.
