Go with the Bluesound Node 2i. Amazing performance for the price.
Need tips to better my sound
I’m not computer savvy and enjoy the convenience of streaming.
Right now my router goes to my smart TV by ethernet cable. I stream Spotify app on TV through an optical cable to my dac (old parasound zdac) to yamaha integrated(a-s500) to Revel tower speakers.
Would the best Improvement be to get a dedicated streamer such as a blue sound? I heard blue sound doesn’t work with Spotify but maybe I could get Tidal? I have music stored on an external hard drive, but my computer is slow, old and crappy. I enjoy streaming and seeing my music choices on my TV screen. Do I need a computer to utilize a dedicated streamer? I don’t know how to go about improving this budget (ghetto) set up that I’ve got. The only brick-and-mortar store around me either wants to sell me tons of crap I can’t afford, or Best Buy tells me "sonos".
suggestions? directions? thanks.

I fourth the Bluesound. It works with Spotify and the DAC sounds pretty darn good. If you haven't already, subscribe to Spotify Premium. When you do, you can go into settings (from your computer or tablet) and set streaming to the highest quality they provide. If you do nothing, it defaults to a lower quality |
Perhaps this might work for you. https://hometheaterreview.com/marantz-nr1200-two-channel-slim-receiver-reviewed/ |
