Want to get into Streaming

Merlin speakers

Okay, a primer for streaming:
1. A streaming service via the web.
Qobuz, Tidal are high resolution services. 
Or
1.5 A streaming unit like-
The Bluesound Node (lots of streaming applications) or Aurender N100 (Qobuz or Tidal, only).
2. A good DAC
Ayre Codex, Schiit Yggy, Mytek Brooklyn-All good DAC's at a great price point- Around $2K new, much less used.
All of the aforementioned will be well under $10K, and will be a good introduction to streaming music. If you want to spend more, I would be glad to provide additional information.

Tidal. Lumin U1 Mini. Shiit Yggy. Pocket $6k. Enjoy.

Streaming is a subset of digital source. 
HD digital digital from local storage should be considered.  
You can get downloads in various resolutions.

I've had TIDAL and Qobuz for many months and recently stopped TIDAL as my bandwidth was fine and I saw no need to compress/uncompress - or fold.  
If your data rates are up to the task it does not matter how the same digital source gets to your DAC.  SSD, CD, SCAD, USB, Bluetooth, WiFi or hard wired.  
There is a difference in bit rate.  16/44.1 vs 24...  Sometimes the sound engineers mess with the same track in different rates.  
Typically the lower res stuff is louder.
