been using stagetraxx for a few years now ,i use the ipad on bluetooth into bluetooth External DAC and take the output from that to the digital mixer its never missed a beat ever ,i then use the usb from the ipad to run my vocaliser on midi from stagetraxxs ,if you use a midi interface you can run any midi device you want,and using the external DCA you get much better sound quality than the internal DAC on the ipad

    AUDIOLAB-M-DAC Mini Digital to Analogue Converter

    Since the launch of the original M-DAC in 2011, Audiolab’s range of standalone DACs has earned widespread acclaim and a host of awards from respected audio journals around the world. Last year’s arrival of the range-topping M-DAC+ and an all-in-one DAC/amp called the M-ONE extended the family by building upon the same award-winning technology.

    Now another contender has entered the ring, the fourth model in the M-DAC range: The M-DAC mini. As the name suggests, the M-DAC Mini is the smallest hi-res DAC/headphone amp in

      davedroug I assume it just plays stereo music tracks as opposed to a backing track panned left and a click panned right for example?

        You can use a stereo interface to either send a stereo mix or backing left and click right. Does not make a difference. The only difference is how you plug these channels into your mixing desk.

        Lishy i play in a duo ,i do all my own backing tracks in 32bit floating 48hz stereo. the art is to balance the backing track so you don't need 3000 channels to mix on the mixer ,just 2 inputs L/R ,then mics guitars go into the mixer ,don't need a click track cos the drums are in the backing tracks ,there's loads of ways you can configure it, you can go stereo bluetooth out to the DAC,for your main mix then use a USB audio interface to take any tracks to the mixer you don't want going through the DAC like (click) (bass) extra but and external DAC will improve your recorded tracks to a whole new level .🙂

          davedroug you said that it is stereo Bluetooth but I’m guessing it can’t accept 2 different signals I.E a backing track right and click left and just stereo music?

          you can configure the outputs on stage traxx ,i.e send your backing track mixed down to right stereo has a mono track and your click track to lift stereo to the dac ,but that defeats the object of having stereo backing tracks far better use a USB audio interface along with the dac that gives loads of options for to go at to plug into your mixing desk the point is to use the DAC to improve the quality of the recorded music making it more on a parr with your live instruments, but that depends on how good your backing tracks are .you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear 🙂

            davedroug yes I know that I just wanted to know if the DAC would be able to receive separate tracks (one down left and one down the right) via Bluetooth?

              48hrz 32bit floating they are big files but wow they don't half make a difference playing live and because your using 32bit floating its almost impossible to peak your files out when you kick the volume up as long has your files where recorded at 0,0db or below no nasty distortion 🙂 here one of my track all recorded using live samples https://www.bandlab.com/user7088264374062931/peaceful-easy-feeling-d37a67bf?revId=05882b80-ac93-ea11-96d2-0003ffd1fc09
