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.

Hello,
Bluesound Node 2i. The reason I am suggesting the older model is you can get them for $100 less. So this should run you $450. If that is out of the budget there are some nice Bluetooth devices that connect to your stereo with RCA cables. In some cases your music will stay at cd quality. This can cost $50 to $150 for a nice one. Since the BlueSound products have this built in plus you can do wired or wireless speakers and it has a toslink input for your tv or CD player I would try to get into a BlueSound Node 2i. If any of you are near the Chicagoland area this store has all of these options and more. https://holmaudio.com/
They also let you try stuff out in your home to make sure it works with your system.
