Use of Stick for music playback on iPhone using an equalizer app

drlucky, your answers have been a great help.

I’m going for the bonus round.

Would you or any others care to weigh in regarding the quality of sound from either the iXpand app, or, the Connect app?

I know this can be subjective…is there a noticeable difference in sound quality going from the phone’s music player to either of the external storage devices iOS app?
