Need streaming advice


I currently stream Tidal HiFi to a Chromecast Audio which is connected optically to my Schiit Yggy. I thought it sounded great, and love sitting on the couch and playing anything I want using my phone.

Last night I hooked a notebook up to the Yggy via USB and played my music from the Tidal windows app. It sounds better. 

How do I achieve the same quality (or better) of streaming while not having to get my ass off the couch to change songs? Is there something like a CCA that has much better jitter?

I agree with Kalali. I have a Node 2 working as a preamp and music server directly connected to my amp. My controller is an Ipad or Iphone with Tidal, but I can also access a HDD in another room with ripped CD files in AIFF format. The Bluesound DAC is really good and the sound is spectacular.
