Need really simple advice. How do I use the DAC side of my ARC Ref CD-9SE to stream music?
You'll have to check your manual to see what the dac can handle, but probably all of the above resolutions. All usb cables you might buy will work fine.  Dealer's choice on if you care about moving past standard cd quality (of which most music is).

I’m with you on some version of a normal 2 channel setup being able to pull this off while providing amazing holography at a primary listening position. I love what my system does with electronica.I also agree with folks above that some version of...

There might be better guides out there, but this one isn't too bad. Unfortunately there's quite a bit to learn to add streaming. It is worthwhile though, as it can greatly expand your music exploration and discovery.https://upscaleaudio.com/pages/...

If this conversation has convinced you to try a new amplifier, you might consider passing the list of contenders by Soundlab to see which they would recommend.  I think people often underutilize the expertise of their manufacturers in this regard. 
Two speaker pairs to a single amplifier.
