I second the Node. They just upgraded the DAC and you can compare it with the DAC in your amp. I like the Bluetooth option for discovery but the Node has both Bluetooth and AirPlay, so even if Spotify and Bluesound don’t work with each other you can still stream to it for discovery
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.
