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

That Khadas has the worst form factor in the world for a HiFi DAC.

Plus it is a headphone amp that you might not want to pay for.

Streaming is for a monthly billable music service. It’s gonna cost ya.

Worse yet it requires an internet network. You have to ask yourself:

Do I want to listen to music or spend my time renewing network handshakes?
