Howdy. This is my first post here. I just bought a Yamaha AV receiver with wifi. I love the Android app. I have some music stored in my tablet and am able to stream it to my receiver. Such a cool feature! I also have a Pure (brand) iPod dock connected to an optical input of the AVR. The Pure docks serially to the ipod and the output is purely digital. Probably the closest thing to playing a CD. I have a question though. Is the stream from my Android tablet an analog and probably compressed, etc stream and an inferior option to the Pure? I compared and cannot detect a difference yet. I have Klipsch R-28f's and a 12" powered sub. Even though I can't yet detect a difference, I'd like to know!
One thing the iPod has over the tablet, is that there is not a ff or rw or a time bar, etc when playing music on the tablet. It will play albums though, not just one selected song at a time. That would be a deal breaker!
