Having been streaming directly (using foobar2000) from a Windows OS tablet into into a Denafrips Gaia DDC (and Venus II DAC) via cabled USB, I recently purchased the Bluesound Node Nano ($299). The system wirelessly draws from my personal iTunes library (no online services) housed on an office desktop (no dedicated NAS) - and is routed into the Gaia via digital coax. The supplied interface (BlueOS) is pretty good and easy to use - though I did have some minor "trail and error" issues configuring the file-sharing parameters of my home network/music files. Long story short: I’m truly amazed at how good it all sounds - especially for the modest cost. As others have stated, a dedicated streamer (even a spartan, entry-level model like the Nano) is, IMHO, definitely worth considering. Terry
