A quick question on what streamers to consider.......

Aurrender. It is all they do, and are the best at it at every level. I own two and have heard many others. I would recommend the N200…but a used N150 or maybe you could get a used N10.

They are built like tanks and the sound quality and support is superb. The conductor App (how you control from an I pad or phone) is well respected, easy to use and gets better every day.

If your router is not near your system. Use a wall wart wifi extender and plug via Ethernet into that. My $150K reference system works that way. 

I have been streaming for over twenty years. This is a no brainer. I have tried streamers from cheap through $3K —>$22K.

I tend to buy the same brand as my router. I have used a number of Net Gear extenders. I gave in and finally had Xfinity put in their router/modem. My NetGear extenders work fine with them.

I just get them at Best Buy.

I am sure this was a typo, but the N200 sounds notably better than the N100 or N150. The N2x are the current versions of Aurrender streamers. If you can afford it, I would recommend the N200. You will get years of outstanding sound quality. 
 

The most important high quality streaming services are Qobuz and Tidal, Qobuz sounds the best by a small margin but offers 500,000 high resolution albums in addition to millions of redbook CD quality. Every streamer I have ever seen supports both of these services.
