Seemlessly switching different streaming sources
Here's the thing if you don't mind differing levels of fidelity this is easy. For example my streamer, an old Auralic Aries Mini, can do Spotify/Tidal/Qobuz/Amazon a few other streaming services, internet radio, plays local files. But it's also a ...
