wanting to take a digital step

hello, more lately I have been discovering artists on Bandcamp and elsewhere who don't put things out on vinyl. More often new things I have bought on vinyl don't always sound that great.  so with that I want to try a cheap set up of some kind to listen from my laptop connected to my system. I did have some cheap $10 interconnects that did the job, barely. just wondering what some digital vets would suggest. Any simple decent solutions for say <500 that would be ok? I have tried looking on different threads and it got confusing. Do I get a cheap CD player or some kind of better set of interconnects to listen from a laptop. I just don't know.  thank you.

A good starting point is the Bluesound Node (499), or the Vault (1399).

the difference between the two are that the first you need a streaming service like Quboz, Tidal, or Amazon music or add your on storage. Adding storage isn’t particularly difficult but depending on your familiarity with IT, the Vault could be attractive since it has built in storage. High resolution music can be bought from HDtracks and Pro Studio Masters. 
 

here are some links, and good like, it would be a nice addition your system, which looks very nice!
