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!

+1 for @lalitk ​​@mahler123 's suggestions. FWIW, I'd entirely avoid Airplay if there's another option.

So I am able to stream from local files. Tried mConnect and see the options for Roon, etc.

But I don’t see how to connect to RadioParadise.

Does this mean I need to subscribe to Roon or Tidal, etc. to stream RadioParadise?
