Streaming virgin
You pretty much have to start with a BluNode.Plug it into the amp and get your feet wet.It, like most streamers require a smart phone or tablet and a wifi network for control. 
Which DAC is better?
Whichever one sounds better to you.If you don’t have a cables it’s high time to start a collection.Most likely the Hint sounds best to most.

Seeking recommendations about material, design, makers of low-lying rack for gear

Bluesound Node Does Not Stream Pandora...bummer!
Actually ery few have Pandora.And every network player has different features.Just because they call it a streamer don’ mean it’ll stream what you want into what you want.I ppinted a Pandora fanperson to a Mano Ultra and an RME DAC and he loves th... 
Bluesound Node Does Not Stream Pandora...bummer!
Load piCorePlayer into any Raspberry Pi. LMS under it runs about any service except for snot nosed Apple and Amazon.OR miniDSP Studio runs a custom Volumio with a Pandora (home page) plug-in.It pays dividends to research before the "oh no" moment.... 
Help! I Need An Amp Purchase Option Other Than PayPal

Budget 15' interconnect recommendation
Audio Envy of your choices.I would DIY out of vanDamme XKE, Mogami 2549 or Canare L-4E6S. Pro mic cable.Don’t worry about balanced for line level until you try. I made a 40’er of XKE, dead quiet.I've used all three. 
Is The FM tuner obsolete?
I started with a Fisher 50B. It DID NOT sound s good as my father's Sylvania that I recorded  offa.Now I avoid broadcast radio always. 
How long do good speakers last?
Foam only lasts 15-25 years depending on climate. DIY repair. I did 10 inchers for $35. I’ve never had any other entropy issues in 50 years. 
It is balloon
True dat. I guess I missed the earlier post. 
Yet another question about streaming
Maybe I’m out on a ledge but to me a streamer (network player) with a built in DAC is NOT a DAC with a bulit in network bridge (streaming DAC.)I ignored the PS Audio DirectStream because the bridge has no USB-A input. It is NOT a full featured pla... 
Looking for a player/Transport that will support a I2S connection
I stand corrected. The $1K NuPrime looks to be the most inexpensive.For that you get an archival slot loader.PS Audio’s is more than a CDT for $6500. What part of "CD...and not slot of cash" does that pertain to?
