You can't beat a Bluesound Node 2i for the money. Connect it analogue use RCA's and try listening to MQA streaming TIDAL. I also like the way TIDL interfaces with the Bluesound Node 2i.
Recommendations for high quality Streaming Audio:
Greetings everyone; looking for recommendations on how to stream high quality audio, let me explain.
I currently use my Apple 8S phone, with a high quality aux cord, into my preamp. This method has better sound quality than when I use a blue-tooth adapter and stream from my phone, but I enjoy being able to stay seated and having control of what I want to listen to.
Anything out there that gives the user remote control / access to what they want to listen to?
If not, I'll settle fort he next best thing, being plugged into my preamp, and having high quality audio without wireless control
Budget: $1,000 for equipment, $25 per month for streaming service.
I don’t know much about DAC’s , streamers, etc.. or alternative music streaming sites, but I do know that there are better options out there from what I’ve read on these forums.
Thanks in advance for the forthcoming enlightenment.
