Upgrade system to stream Tidal

Greetings All,

Would like to upgrade my current 10 year old system ( denon receiver, paradigm Monitor 9 floorstanding speakers)

Thinking about Cambridge cx 81 paired with Wharfdale Evo 4.3...Would I need a separate streamer to stream Tidal from my phone or laptop. Budget is around $3000-3500. Any suggestion would be welcome. Please tell me your honest opinion and what I need to know.

most respectfully,

Tony

I suggest stepping up to Cambridge’s EVO 75 for simplicity and high quality streaming. The built-in StreamMagic appears to offer much better solution than any other external streaming device or laptop.

Save a lot of money and get the Bluesound Node. Qobuz not Tidal.

A Raspberry PI and the best DAC you can afford will give the best chance of competing with your current source.  What about the paradigm Monitor 9s do  you no longer  like?
