New to Streaming

I’ll be the lone voice of dissent regarding Qobuz. But I agree regarding the BluSound Node. You can later add an external DAC and LPS with notable improvement along the way. 
 

I much prefer the content management of Spotify and find the SQ difference negligible at best. One benefit to streaming is to find new artists and explore their music and the Spotify interface is far superior to Qobuz and Tidal in that regard. If you like Wes Montgomery, you can select Wes Montgomery “radio” and an endless playlist of artists is provided with similar musical characteristics. 

I use the Wiim Pro at less than $200. It is supposed to have bit perfect output. I love the app on my phone it controls all of my services Amazon, Tidal, Spotify, and Qobuz.. I am looking to upgrade. I use coax out to a Gustard r26 DAC. Sounds  great to me.

 If you don't like it or want to upgrade you can sell it easily.

@1happyman +1! I second your choice of the Wiim Pro! Die-hard 'philes won't like it because how can anything so cheap be any good? Doesn't Wiim have a budget version for like $70? 

Forgot to mention the Bluesound Node X also has Bluetooth and Amazon HD offers a great alternative to qobuz that way. I now use both.

@mjcmt the WiiM Pro is a great streamer but the DAC in it is only so-so, maybe not even "so-so" but it could serve as a streamer to a better external DAC of course. The newer WiiM Pro Plus has a much better DAC in it for only $220 and many reviewers say it sounds as good as the Bluesound Node (but not the Node X). They also say it has a better clock circuit for less jitter as well. 

The software app in the WiiM is great (I have a cheap WiiM Mini in one room feeding a Schiit DAC), at least as good as BlueO/S. But the Node offers HDMI Arc, a subwoofer out, and bass management if you use it as a digital preamp. $220 vs. $600.

Just want to say Quobuz is highly recommended and works well. But I much prefer Tidal with its "Connect" app which many streamers support that passes off the URL directly to the streamer.  Wish more streaming platforms would roll out these "Connect" apps.  I believe the popularity of lossy Spotify can be attributed directly to them being one of the earliest platforms to have a Connect app and it being supported by so many streamers. 

If Deezer or Quobuz had a Connect app, I'd switch from Tidal. Tidal recently decided to not honor the 1-year subscriptions sold by Best Buy and has forced users to sign up for a monthly subscription. That sux.
