New streamer, new to streaming


Hey folks,

This is my first venture into the realm of streaming and am seeking advice getting started.

I got a Hegel H190 a few years ago and just now decided to use the built-in streamer.

I have been streaming to it from my laptop via USB and appreciate the absolute convenience, education, and exposure to unlimited sources of music in so many genres.

Now, in a different listening room, my H190 is very close to the router. I connected an ethernet cable, did the firmware upgrade, and am ready to try the internal streamer.

Before getting into Roon, Tidal, etc., is there a simple app or online station I can try first? Something I can open up in a browser and have it stream to the H190 from the network?

Hope I am phrasing my questions properly! I know nothing about streaming.

Thanks!

Thanks for the responses!

I have tried Radio Paradise streaming from my laptop. Just don't know how to get the Hegel to stream music over the network from Radio Paradise (or any other online source) that I have opened on my laptop. 

Trying to stream directly from network to the Hegel instead of laptop via USB to Hegel.

Is that possible? Or is some service like Tidal needed? 

 

A true streamer will of course stream Radio Paradise either/both through TuneIn or an RP extension. I am unfamiliar with what you have, as you are.
