Allo USBridge Signature

[Manni]

Now: if one wants to stream out of a mac TO the Sig+moOde music managed through iTunes, is there a way to do that other than...AirPlay 2? Asking, since the drop in quality of hi-res audio, good quality recordings, is definitely audible (you know, AirPlay comes with some severe limitations both in bitrate and sample rate).

I run Audirvana3+ on my MacBookPro and stream from the MBP to the Sig.

In A+ you can connect your iTunes Lib. incl all your iTunes playlists.
Using Audirvana remote App on my iPhone or iPad to control the application on the MBP.

The MBP sits in my living room and I‘m sitting in my dedicated listening-room.
The MBP with A+ acts as a server and streams wireless Hirez to my router, which is connected via CAT 7 into my listening room, where the USBridge Sig is connected via Ethernet.

That’s the only way I have figured out to get my iTunes lib. incl. playlist to utilise in full extend incl. coverarts.
Don’t know JRiver, so I do not know if it is possible.

In A+ the Sig shows up as an UPNP device. You have to activate UPNP in moOde OS.

The benefit is, better sound quality as well
