I'm another oldster and I gotta say that streaming is truly the beez kneez. Sure, I've got thousands of LPs and hundreds of CDs, not to mention maybe about a hundred 45's. But streaming is truly so much more. It's like having the key to the record store, with damnably good fidelity to boot. It's utterly liberating. You cruise Qobuz, or maybe Idagio if you're classically inclined. You make a couple mouse clicks. Suddenly you're listening to the record you wanted to hear so much during the 1970's but just didn't have enough change in your pocket to take home. On the classical side, it's just plain wonderful to be able to cue up a familiar work performed by an artist you've never heard of, or listen to that symphony you never got around to buying.

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
