Music streaming


I'am newbie to streaming music,I need to pick a music streaming service.

I listen to mostly rock,blues,pop and some jazz a little classical once and a while.

I purchased a used Auralic Vega G-1 streamer.

I was wondering if there is a way to stream my Youtube Premium music through my Chromecast notebook?

I don't think the Auralic supports Chromecast,but is there a way to do it?

Otherwise I just need to pick one of the other services.

I'm looking for ease of use and audio quality,but need to keep it simple.

Thanks.

Ward.

Cambridge Audio streamers support Chromecast .  I just bought a Wiim Pro for $109 that does as well.  It isn’t hard to find 

I own the Vega, and enjoy the Auralic app and Qobuz.  I tried adding Roon, but it didn't add much to the experience for me, and was another layer to deal with.

I also subscribe to Youtube Premium and enjoy the wide variety of performances available through my TV.  You may encounter some syncing issues (video and audio) with the Vega, since there is buffering taking place.  I ended up adding a pair of JBL powered speakers for TV and swap my REL sub between my primary system when what members here refer to as "critical listening".. 

Qobuz for sound quality, but sometimes they don't carry an artist's best work. For example, Tom Russell Band, Poor Man's Dream album. All you get are shabby, feel-good live recordings of some cuts from that record. They also don't have the Poco album Cantamos. Two years ago they didn't have the Amplified Heart album by Everything But the Girl, nor the single We Walk the Same Line from that album. Now they do, but it took a while. Though they did impress me with Brother Wiley's Murder the Mystery album, which I strongly recommend, especially for the rock 'n roll cover of Cohen's First We Take Manhattan. And they had another rarity, Air Loom, Seeds, for the single Forgive This Town. Qobuz is missing some of the best Albinoni and Telemann as well.
That said, Apple has the more comprehensive library. MQA put me off Tidal forever, and Spotify doesn't seem to take SQ seriously.

I have Qobuz and Tidal and they both sound excellent.  I have both because sometimes I will play something on one platform that is not available on the other.  

I prefer Qobuz but Tidal has great exclusive live content with artists.
