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.

You will get all that You Tube gives, up to 96kHz.  This is better than YouTube output I think.  It will sound amazing, if your tv is centered between your speakers.

The reason we use AES (196kHz) or USB (DSD etc) is to send higher resolution files to the DAC if they are available.  Qobuz streams vary from CD quality (44.1kHz) all they way up to 196kHz.

You can Bluetooth Youtube from whatever device you're using to the Vega.

Got it!Thanks.

I also was wondering if I can expect much of a improvement from running my 25 year old Nakamici CD player using the digital out into the Auralic DAC?
