Hi folks , just wondered how creative I can be , with these 2 items .

I have an I pad my daughter gave her mum, I use it mainly for watching I player when I do jobs sat in a tractor seat (NOT moving) This is in line of sight of Wi Fi!

Now the Yamaha CD -S300 has an USB connector for an I pod (I dont have one) but I have an I Pad !
I read that playing files from the I Pad bypasses the DAC in it and then presumeably uses the DAC in the CD ! (I am happy with that )

I also could play into the CD via Toslink from the Marantz AV unit sat next door - and then use Spotify (Premimum for best quality?) but my expeirience with streaming music is either You Tube or Alexa ,and quality is not there !

So ,for an absolute digital dinosaur of sorts ,has anyone any advice for me ? Please?
