HELP! Streaming to my old school audiophile system


HELP! I have a complete old school Nakamichi setup I've collected over the years (Stasis PA-7AII amp; CA-7A Pre-amp; ST-7 tuner; RX-505 tape deck; Dragon tape deck; MB-1 CD player; JVC turntable; all playing through my four JBL 4311B's). I want to be able to wireously stream music through this system but don't know where to start nor how to hook such a device to my pre-amp. Do I need a network streamer? A DAC? Another pre-amp? All of the above to do this right? I've looked at the Cambridge Azur 851N, but are there alternative devices. I also hear over and over again that AirPlay is the best media to stream with. Help! I'm lost and need educated and pointed in the right direction with a device or system that won't cheapen the sound my old school set up currently produces.

+1 for the Node 2i

And if you treat it to some great Interconnect and power cables it will perform way above it's "snack bracket".

You can even get the Node 2 - the original version for a discounted price around $520 and the only difference is that it doesn't do Apple and Alexa stuff and it is NOT dual band wifi.

For absolute best playback results - connect it to the LAN via Ethernet in order to play 24/192 files without any dropouts.
