RE: How does Apple iPad compare....

This is a great question but I wonder how objective the answers will be.

There seems to be a sort of cultural preference that defines Apple v. Windows users and those with a predisposition to one or the other will choose it irrespective of what a neutral observer may feel are more objective criteria.

So I will expect users of iPads to say that they are superior and vice versa for Windows guys. In all likelihood few will have had extensive experience of using both alternatives so as to reach an informed opinion.

The matter is complicated by the different generations of OS and variations of player software used, let alone variables introduced by arguable subjects like cabling or USB gadgets.

For my part I find that a Dell Win 10 laptop with SSD storage running JRiver MC21 gives results equal to or, perhaps, superior to, replay from my dCS transport ( both using the same dCS DAC). That is my marker for comparison. Whether an iPad is superior or inferior is unknown as I have no experience of Apple.
