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.

+1 for Qobuz.  I myself don't listen to Youtube, but I know many like the video with the audio.  It is easy to plug an optical input into your new Auralic Streamer.  This may not sound as awesome as a Qobuz stream, but would make it available without I think the complexity of casting from a laptop.  Just plug your TV into the Auralic and listen.  Premium is a decision that you can decide upon later.  The Auralic will also accept Bluetooth form you laptop, and while not as high rez is another option.  I do think the new Bluetooth is getting better.

Just get Qobuz or Tidal depending on which music library aligns better with your personal taste in music.  YouTube Premium music is low-res 256kb/s while Qobuz and Tidal offer minimum full CD resolution with a lot of music available in hi res, and as the others are about the same price as YT Premium it’s a no brainer if you care at all about sound quality.
