Upgrade system to stream Tidal

Greetings All,

Would like to upgrade my current 10 year old system ( denon receiver, paradigm Monitor 9 floorstanding speakers)

Thinking about Cambridge cx 81 paired with Wharfdale Evo 4.3...Would I need a separate streamer to stream Tidal from my phone or laptop. Budget is around $3000-3500. Any suggestion would be welcome. Please tell me your honest opinion and what I need to know.

most respectfully,

Tony

Use the available free trial periods to test out Tidal and Qobuz streaming via your laptop.  Configure  the apps to use exclusive mode access to your USB port. 

Then, try a free trial with Audirvana (software that optimizes your laptop for streaming) to run Tidal and Qubuz as instances in Audirvana.  

It may sound complicated, but all three are menu driven, well documented and rather easy to set up.  

This may likely give you all you need for now, and at the very least will give you good a basis for comparison - at a very low cost!
