Hi community! I stream music trough a Belkin soundform connect with apple music. I made a test to compare this Belkin to a direct connection from my iphone 15 usb-c to my dac, Chord mojo2.

I was impressed with the better sound quality from my Iphone connection.

Any recommendations to improve/replace streamer sound quality?

Here the ideas i have but would like to hear what you have and if you made any comparaison tests:
- Chord Poly but a bit on the expensive side
- Wiim mini
- Allo digione signature player
- Bluesound
- does a IFI ipurifier2 could improove the belkin?

Many thanks!!!

My gear: Iotavx SA3 amp, XSLS Encore speakers.

If you decide to go down the WiiM path, I would get a Pro which has PEQ, has more horsepower behind it, and can be an airplay casting device.

Another option is Eversolo.

I found my problem and sharing it so other peoples can benefit. Belkin soundform connect have settings accessible trough the app (appstore). Volume has to be at max. Iphone volume also have to be at max. I am guessing that digital volume controls induce some kind of noise in the signal. Also, sound quality improves when i power the soundform connect by a battery.
