I am sure you heard the saying ‘garbage in garbage out’. Krell preamp will go as far as your source and then some. You need a quality streamer and good DAC for a decent streaming setup.
There are lot of threads here on streaming setup. You can start off with a streamer with built in DAC or streamer with external DAC for maximum flexibility. Here are couple of recommendations on streamers with a built in DAC to get your feet wet in digital streaming.

Both of the above options allows you to add external DAC down the road.
You will see recommendation on popular budget Bluesound Node 2i here shortly. It’s a decent streamer with average DAC that will likely disappoint you in SQ using its analog outputs. Node 2i with an external DAC is a different story.
You can also look into dedicated streamers with external DAC. Check out other offerings from Aurender, Lumin and Innuos. I suggest your read up on these three premier manufacturers that have exemplified themselves in digital streaming.
Once you decide on hardware, then sign up with Tidal or Qobuz for music. They both offer 30 days free trial. These are the only two I recommend for ultimate experience in high resolution streaming.
Next time you chime in, state your budget so others can make recommendations that’s more in-line with your budget.
