Tidal

John, Spotify doesn't drop out on your rig because it is a much smaller signal nd is compressed. There is not much there to download. You need throughput for tidal, as it is uncompressed. If you can put the infrasturcture together, tidal BLOWS Spotify off the planet.

Interesting trivia......

Anyone use a blue sound node 2 or Aires mini? I'm setting up a system in the living room. I have spica angelus speakers a mc2205 or an Accuphase P300. I need a streamer or dac and computer which is what I have in my smaller bedroom for critical listening.
thanks in advance.

If you're not seeking the ultimate in sound quality, I would suggest an Audioengine B1 Bluetooth receiver.  Very simple set-up and the sound quality is pretty good for the money, in my opinion.  To make it even sweeter, mine was purchased under $200.
