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.

If you want to get into steaming on the cheap, without having to use a tablet, phone or laptop, check out the Grace Digital Link Radio. It connects to your dac or integrated amp via a digital coax interconnect and plays through your hifi. It has a nice screen and Is easy to use. It also has the capability to stream Hi-Res audio should you care to do so. The built in apps include both Amazon Music and Pandora, and it has access to over 100,000 Radio stations from all over the world, plus Chromecast built-in and Bluetooth. It also has a remote. $179 cannot be beat. I use one, and to me, it sounds terrific. It will most likely be all I will ever need. I’m a CD, LP, and Cassette kind of guy, but when I’m lazy, I turn to my Grace Radio.
