Streaming

....and this is all relatively "lossless"?

I appreciate all the help, but I remain confused in my limited understanding of the digital world....if I now understand, my iPhone is the streamer, sharing with the BlueMe via Bluetooth...both those devices, doing these functions, are, to some degree "lossy"(new term I just learned).  As my preamp is vintage, and has only analog inputs, and my router is in another room, Im still a little confused as what "better" options are available to me....is WiFi LESS LOSSY than Bluetooth?  How do I get a less lossy digital signal to my preamp, given the above limitations?  Thanks for your help, and I apologize for being a digital age virgin...lol

SO, bare with me......the Bluesound Node 2i does NOT need to be hardwired to the router, but can get a WiFi signal on its own, and then be interconnected to my preamp?  How do you chose the SOURCE material, please?

thank you , ALL!!
