Newbie to digital streaming looking for advice on next steps
fuzztone, thanks. I'm leaning toward the CXN, thinking that I could rip my CDs to a USB-connected drive, and just connect that to the streamer.  Wonderful.  A friend suggested dBpoweramp for ripping. Your example shows that I don't need to spend a... 
Cambridge CXN vs Bluesoune Node?
Would it make sense to try to connect the iPad to a USB cable, into the SHD?  Or perhaps connect my computer --- but I would need a 25 foot cable.  Does that work with USB?  This would just be for those Symphony concerts using the 'inplayer' platf... 
Cambridge CXN vs Bluesoune Node?

Replacement for NAD 7175PE receiver? (NAD 165BEE + NAD C427 + ARC D130?)
Intriguing!  I "fixed" the problem last year by running the pots and switches back and forth for a few minutes.  Lately, I've been doing that 10x after every listen.  The problem is back, and worsening.So.  There are some downsides.  I don't have ... 
Dual 1229Q turntable vs new entry-level
Thanks for the help. The table has been spoken for. Just as well, since I really don't have time for a project. But I appreciate the offers of help. This is a great forum.
