New to Streaming

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. 

@moonwatcher Is the streamer part of the WiiM Pro Plus the same as the Pro, with just a better DAC ? I thought I had read that somewhere..loving the WiiM Mini in bedroom system...agree on Tidal Connect possibly being a huge advantage...Qobuz "supposedly" finally releasing their connect this Fall...
