Sorry, man, but your haphazard approach seems to be taking you in an undirected trajectory.
Just make sure that your DAC has some inputs so that streaming can be incorporated as soon as you wake up and realize that millions of songs are at your fingertips in CD Rez and higher and are there for the listening on your awesome rig....through an iPad!!!!
spend $1,000 on a CD transport.
use your budget on a killer DAC.
you want to make a bad ass move...?
get a Mytek Brooklyn Bridge +. You’ll have a killer DAC and be ready for the stream!!
future proof yourself, son....
