How to stream with a pre-amp

Hello Folks,

Just received the Schiit Saga, purchased in a small burst of enthusiasm, and now I'm pondering how to integrate streaming (back) into the system. I have been running a Marantz AVR with a parasound HCA1200. I'm searching for 3D sound, hence the acquisition of the Saga. So, what are your best, low cost options, for integrating streaming back into the system?

Thanks in advance...!

Then just use the Marantz as your streamer.

What were you using before to stream?

Does it have a built in DAC? If so, there should be analog audio outs that will connect to a Saga input.

Otherwise you will need a DAC.

As long as you don't crank up the AVR to Max, There shouldn't be a problem. Yes, the Saga will just "see" it as another source.
Yes, you would plug your CD player into the Saga and output the Saga to your amp.
For an all-in-one solution, the Bluesound is supposed to be quite nice.
What are you using for a streamer now?
