You can get an iFi Zen Stream ($399) plus a Khadas Tone 2 Pro DAC ($299). These along with a Qobuz or Tidal subscription ($20/month) will let you listen to a vast amount of music! You do need an Internet connection/modem. This can be free through a Federal program aimed at increasing high-speed ’Net access.
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
