How To Get The Best Sound From Pandora & Rhapsody?

.
How do you get the best possible sound from Pandora and Rhapsody? Is a computer via USB Dac the best way? Or, will using one of these newfangled streamers and a Dac give you better sound?

The majority of my listening is from these two sources, and I'd like to go whole hog to get the best possible sound from them. I still listen to cd's and vinyl, but Pandora and Rhapsody is so doggone convenient, that they get the bulk of my listening time.

Adam18 & Sfar, I've had Rhapsody for nearly ten years, and they have a ton of music. Do you find that MOG has more music than Rhapsody?

Neal, maybe it's not the highest possible resolution in hifi...but it's not junk.

You buy a high end system to play back a high resolution source. I seriously doubt anyone would buy a high-end system just to listen to Pandora, Rhapsody, MOG or Spotify. A lot of people with high-end systems already in place do listen to them though. For those that do, I'm sure that they'd like to get the best sound they could when they do listen .... which is how this thread started.

Neal, you're a snob.

I'm a music lover. You're an equipment lover.

I love the journey. You're enamored with the vehicle.

The first three words of your second sentence above define you ("I can't see").

Mesch, you are correct. This is a great forum, no need for name calling.

Neal, I apologize. Please accept my apology.

Cal3713 - As Sfar said, I think you nailed it.
