@lafish3 What was the last "box" series made in england? I have the z4 and have had the s5.  The s5 were perfect but tiny imperfections can be found on the Z's, But still a really solidly built.  Love the tweeter construction and the base and fee... 
Do I Need a Dedicated Streamer?
I am purdy sure if you go with a dedicated quality streamer you will beat the pants off airplay from a phone.   Do some searches on here as this topic has been covered many times over many moons.  As a matter of fact this site could use a dedicate... 
Streamer Comparison and Suggestions
The Bryston BDP-3 is Roon Ready.  I have their Pi unit and it makes a solid Roon Endpoint and Bryston Support is good. https://sepeaaudio.com/content/Bryston_BDP-3_Review_Audio_Video_South_Africa.pdf  
Signalyst HQPlayer - Is it worth the upgrade?
@toro3. I dont think HQPe runs with a desktop app. All a moot point I think as I just found out from Andrew that my endpoint does not speak the NAA protocol. Unless HQPe speaks DLNA I am dead in the water.  
Signalyst HQPlayer - Is it worth the upgrade?
I can’t find the small globe to change the setting. It does not appear in the Sonic Transport interface. Remember the ST is a headless computer controlled via a browser. I installed an HQPdcontrol app on my iPAD and got that connected but I dont ...

Signalyst HQPlayer - Is it worth the upgrade?
I am interested in trying this, sounds fun. What would my topology be? considering: I have Roon Running on an SGC i5. I also have installed HQplayer on the i5. My Bryston BDP is the current Roon endpoint. Then My DAC. I stream The Qobuz    
when your hearing is not as good as it was . . .
I am 65  and suffer audiometric notch ,aka "noise notch". Listening with hearing aids sucks. and I have moderate priced and expensive (widex & oticon). One of the things that is significant is cupping my hands behind my ears. Its amazing how...

Question/Help Needed: Boomer who is totally inexperienced with DACs and streamers.
It looks like the BlueSound has optical and USB outs...so would I connect one of them to the corresponding input in the amp/DAC?  Yes. but make sure the Blue Sound supports Amazon service.  Then find out the resolution of the stream (make sure ... 
Hegel H390 DAC
According to Hegel’s site the H390 uses a SyncroDAC. Maybe do some research on that and see what different implementations there are as it obviously covers many of your bases. https://www.syncronorm.com/products/syncrotools/syncrodac/page  ... 
Need an amp upgrade suggestion..... But not the usual upgrade request :-)
Yep need some specs on what characteristics are you looking for?  
Tidal or Qobuz
@zlone  Only way to find out is fire up a trial on both services and exploritate.  Then sign up for monthly if you need more time.  then cancel the weakling.
