Streaming

....I should expand....been sorting out another more important issues system currently, then I will get to streaming/digital....still would love to hear more about the Nord Acoustics unit....

I am just getting into this, so please excuse my uneducated question. We have wifi in the house. How would I know if there is a good signal at the stereo?

I have an Android tablet and there’s a Settings icon on the home screen. I tap that, tap Connections and tap on my Wi-Fi Network. It opens up a box that tells me that I’m Connected and that my signal strength is Very Strong. It also gives some other info.  Same for my Android phone.

I’m sure Apple has something similar and I’d bet that you can download an app to measure and test your wifi signal.

Took my laptop out to the stereo and showed full strength on the wifi connection.

Sounds like you're good to stream music.  If you can run an ethernet cable, many people feel a wired connection is better.  But if you can't, wifi will do.  It's just great to have access to all that music that streaming makes available.
