What do you like about it,I have never heard of that one.

Yes, you can plug an ethernet cable directly into the Vega and stream from there.  Remember you can also plug in an optical from a TV.  

So if I watch a video on you tube premium on my TV ,and use the optical output to the Vega I shouldn't loose much audio quality?

Thanks for the suggestions.

I’am using a little cheap 4x4 inch streamer via Bluetooth from my laptop  to my preamp now.

The quality is not the best as you might imagine.

I will check out both services you mention.

If I subscribe I take it I can run right from my modem into my streamer correct?

If you want the ultimate in streaming sound quality (for me and my audio system, Tidal came out #1) go with either Tidal, Qobuz or both.  Happy listening.

Thanks,I will check Tidal out.

You can Bluetooth Youtube from whatever device you're using to the Vega.

Got it!Thanks.

I also was wondering if I can expect much of a improvement from running my 25 year old Nakamici CD player using the digital out into the Auralic DAC?

You can likely get free trials with both Tidal and Qobuz.

Yes,I signed up for a 60 day trial with Tidal.

Sounds pretty good so far.

thanks

I prefer Tidal. 

99.9% of my music listening consists of 1970’s to Current Day Progressive Rock, 1960’s to 1980’s Classic Rock, 1980’s to Current Day Prog Metal, Art Rock, Post Rock, and Bete Noir Jazz from all Eras (Bowie, Roxy Music, Talk Talk, Mogwai, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Distant Dream, Soup, My Bloody Valentine, Gift, Bohren & der Club of Gore, etc.), and Industrial/Hard To Classify Rock (Nine Inch Nails, Ministry, Killing Joke, Psychedelic Furs, Satellite Paradiso, etc.).  I gave examples so you could see the pretty eclectic variety of my tunes.

I am pretty certain I can count on one hand the number of times I looked for music I listen to and was not able to find it in Tidal’s library.  Happy listening!

Yes,that’s why I ended trying tidal.

I stumped them with Ground Hogs -Soldier.

They do have about six albums,just not Thank Christ for the Bomb.

Thanks for the info but I already bought a Auralic Vega g1

Thanks to all the help,

I ended up signing up for a 60 trial with Tidal just to get going with something.

One thing I already notice ,to me it seems to weigh heavily towards modern pop and r&b,

But that was just a first impression

Does Qobuz have a deeper catalog of old stuff like 70's hard rock?

Yes,I have been doing some more searches  and their tracks go pretty deep.

Ok,I have my streamer hooked to my router via a Ethernet cable .

What do I have to do next to get my music from Tidal to play on the streamer?

Thanks for the info.

I tried using lightning,but I have a chrome laptop and I could only use it in my browser.I have just been using my phone through tidal and it works well.

I think I will get a I-pad or Android tablet soon..
