Streaming


I’m interested in high  resolution streaming but don’t know how to get started. I have a Schiit Gungnir Multibit DAC.  What else do I need?

As a preliminary step, I’ve connected with Tidal through my Oppo 105D player.
Now, how do I get programming to access extensive Classical repertoire?
Unfortunately, I have no way of connecting Spotify to my system by WiFi as I can do with Tidal.  Oppo has the Tidal app bundled with it, and I’m streaming through the Oppo. What’s worse is I can’t connect any device to my Gungnir DAC because (just a couple of months after I bought it,) the outlet for the optical cable broke. The outlet won’t hold the cable in tightly.  A washer broke off from the outlet. 
So, at this point, if I want to stream, I’m stuck with Tidal.
I haven’t wanted to send the DAC out for repair, because I’m experimenting with different tubes, and besides, I’m enjoying the system far too much.
Yes, thank you, I didn’t think of that.  The Oppo could be used as a DAC.
How do you then access the other streaming services?
jl35,

I have a question too.
 I downloaded two apps: The a Tidal app and the Oppo app.
There is music offered on both apps. But I can only access the offerings on the Oppo app.  There are more and better choices on the Tidal app.
is there any way  I can utilize the music from both apps?
I found if you do a detailed search (e.g. composer, work, artist) for what you want, you can get practically anything.
jl35,

 I retract my question. I found out how to use the “search” option on the Oppo site.
The only problem I have now is the sound quality of the Oppo DAC, which is not up to the quality of the Gungy (which I’ll now have to get fixed if I want to get better sound.)
I now have Chromecast Audio.
 I have the apps for Spotify and BBC Radio
i can access Spotify on Chromecast but not BBC.
