Considering stepping into streaming absolute newbie to it .


   I must confess my totals ignorance to streaming ( tidal ?),so please excuse my somewhat simple question.
I have a Mac,an iPad etc but hear a lot of chatter in my short research of the Blue Note.
I have a BelCanto dac I use to run my cd transport .
   I have been into the audio world for 35yrs but this is another world for me ,I  love spinning lps on my turntable, but the access to music is undeniable . I would expect to have a budget of 2k to accomplish this ,used equipment from the gon would be fine also 
Thank you

I am in a very unique situation ,I have had discussions here before about my ranch. I moved away from the hustle and bustle I lived in the music world 13 yrs ago .I moved from the east coast and moved onto a remote ranch deep in the Northern California mountains . I run solar, with big battery reserve and generator backup. 60Hz 120 pretty much perfect. That said my internet is satellite, it can be great and slow a minute later.My reason for mentioning this is I would like the ability to download something at various times and listen to it later. This is possible with say tidal correct?
Tuberist my friend here Eric says the same thing about the conversion.I am maybe a "dork" because I love the tactile experience of grabbing an lp or cd and playing it.But I do enjoy the massive library and the ease of access coupled with the sound
.
Questions ?

The iPad I have gathering dust can accomplish this along with the above recommended devices ? (Instead of tying up my MacBook in my audio room).
Is it possible to access the stream in my home theatre room?( Pionneer elite unit).

Thanks again

I truly appreciate the advice ,I’ve given enough over the years to ask when I have no idea .
