Plenty of good "coaching" above and primers. I was in the same lane you are in a few years ago. Confused about DAC's, streamers, ethernet connectivity, streaming services, etc. I started with the BluSound Node 2i and educated myself along the way. Suggest you pick up a used one with an optional LPS here on Audiogon and start your journey.
Digital newbie
Hi all,
Could someone give me the 101 of digital today? I’m back in the hobby after a decade-ish hiatus and would like the basics of streamers v network transports v network players, etc and how Tidal/Qobuz/Roon play into it. I've been on Aurender's and Lumin's website and I think I get the gist but wanted some clarificiation. If there’s a specific thread for newbies like me, could you point me that way? Thanks!
