I’d stay clear of the headphone outs and Bluetooth as neither of those options are going to sound very good. Digital streaming from a quality device dedicated to the task has the potential to introduce you to some truly outstanding experiences far exceeding CD. Get the Bluesound Node. It’s easy to use, easy to setup, supports nearly everything you’ll want it to (including MQA) and won’t break the bank. Right out of the box it sounds pretty good if not a little on the dark side and if you want to take the next step you can do a dedicated DA or feed its digital to your integrated (losing the MQA if you go that route). It’s a great entry to hi res streaming and easy to sell if you decide to step up to something better.
Streaming virgin
I know this is a broad topic but I have to start somewhere. Up to now my source has only been my cd collection. I would like to get into streaming to discover new music. My current system is modest consisting of a Simaudio 340ix integrated and 260d transport. Speakers are Focal936. I currently have a Spotify premium account that I use with my Amazon kindle tablet and ear phones. I do not have a PC at present. So, where do I start? Will I need additional equipment ie computer, server, etc? I am pretty ignorant with all this tech stuff. I'm looking to get quality sound as easily as possible and if I have to spend a few bucks to do so thats ok.
