Streaming


Hello Family,   I`m old school 76 I just don`t understand this streaming and dac business. I`m still stuck on my RTR`s, Cd player and  PASS lots of power.  It sounds very interesting.  I was once told that I could also do some serious taping using my RTR`s I`d would like someone to tell me what gear I would need and how to set it up forget my desk top or lap top.   I`ve heard terminology used like Innos zin mini, Bluesound Node, Aurender Are they streamers? what is Roon, Qobuz, Plex? whats the purpose of a dac? I`m on fixed income `what`s the best gear I can get for 1500 mostly buying used gear to began. Thanks

Ha. Surely the poster has an internet connection and either a smart phone or a computer. I took my smart phone an older IPhone, with a 3.5 mm out and two rca's on 6'' cable I found. Plugged into a preamp or aux on his receiver, play a tune from YouTube and see if you like streaming, no need to spend any money or let alone learn what a roon endpoint is at this point.  Your making things hard for this fellow! 
 

It's not gonna be the best sound in the world but he'd have an idea how it's done, he already has a dac in the phone or pc.
