Recommended sources for tubes

What sources do you suggest for an analog type system? I tried logitech streaming, but it is fatiguing with low data files. What is the best way to get music to this setup? I have fast internet. I don’t have a CD collection. I don’t have a vinyl collection. I would like to stream and play hi rez downloaded files for sure. What direction do I go in?

"Yes why, inquiring minds want to know."

Title should be, Recommended source components for tube system.

Just typical nowadays of how people don't use enough words in a phrase leaving it to have multiple different meanings.

Punctuation seems to be lacking, as well.
I must be getting old...

@OP,
Sorry, if I seem to be ganging up on you. We old timers grew up when teachers could take a ruler to your knuckles.

This:  Recommended source components for tube system.

I was unable to edit, please forgive the rushed question and sentence structure. 

Easy on the new guy fellas.  My question still remains and I am deeply appreciative of the shared knowledge.  What may seem simple to many is not to me.  It seems very easy to make a $2K mistake building components. 

Is the solution really to ditch the tube amp and go with a newer, more integrated system or the same idea with modern amp? 

I made calls yesterday and it appears that the bluesound node or vault is popular, but at what level sound quality?
