Music streaming


I'am newbie to streaming music,I need to pick a music streaming service.

I listen to mostly rock,blues,pop and some jazz a little classical once and a while.

I purchased a used Auralic Vega G-1 streamer.

I was wondering if there is a way to stream my Youtube Premium music through my Chromecast notebook?

I don't think the Auralic supports Chromecast,but is there a way to do it?

Otherwise I just need to pick one of the other services.

I'm looking for ease of use and audio quality,but need to keep it simple.

Thanks.

Ward.

Just get Qobuz or Tidal depending on which music library aligns better with your personal taste in music.  YouTube Premium music is low-res 256kb/s while Qobuz and Tidal offer minimum full CD resolution with a lot of music available in hi res, and as the others are about the same price as YT Premium it’s a no brainer if you care at all about sound quality. 

+1 for Qobuz.  I myself don't listen to Youtube, but I know many like the video with the audio.  It is easy to plug an optical input into your new Auralic Streamer.  This may not sound as awesome as a Qobuz stream, but would make it available without I think the complexity of casting from a laptop.  Just plug your TV into the Auralic and listen.  Premium is a decision that you can decide upon later.  The Auralic will also accept Bluetooth form you laptop, and while not as high rez is another option.  I do think the new Bluetooth is getting better.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I’am using a little cheap 4x4 inch streamer via Bluetooth from my laptop  to my preamp now.

The quality is not the best as you might imagine.

I will check out both services you mention.

If I subscribe I take it I can run right from my modem into my streamer correct?
