Howdy, I used to have a Pure i20 that took the 30-pin iPhone output to RCA to play music on my vintage stereo receiver via aux-in. Does not work with iPhone 6, even with a 30=7 dongle.
Wondering what I should try these days:
- A DAC (preferably < $200, I am playing MP3s after all).
- Some other kind of dock or gadget I am not aware of.
- Just use a Bluetooth streamer and forget it.
- Get a wireless Sonos and plug in to the Borg
Nothing fancy. Just looking for better-than-headphone-port performance and not too many bells and whistles.
There are obvious convenience tradeoffs when moving to bluetooth or wireless, and that catches my eye, but are there still performance tradeoffs?
I listen to mostly playlists via the iPhone of purchased MP3s and burned CDs, plus some Spotify and Pandora.
Thanks
