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.

The streamer app is called Lightning DS. You want to load it to your iPad. iPad is the preferred control device and I am sure will be much easier. If not there is a technical way to control from Macs and PCs. Here is an AI Summary:

 

 

The Auralic Vega G1 streamer app is called Lightning DS. It's an iOS app designed for controlling the Vega G1 and other Auralic devices. While primarily designed for iOS, Auralic streamers also support OpenHome UPnP protocols, allowing them to be controlled by other compatible apps on Android, Mac, and Windows. 

Key features and functionalities of Lightning DS include:

  • Native streaming: Supports Qobuz, Tidal, and HRA. 
  • Other streaming options: Supports Spotify Connect, AirPlay, and Internet Radio. 
  • Roon ready: Auralic streamers are Roon-ready, allowing them to seamlessly integrate into Roon systems. 
  • Web browser control: Device setup and configuration can be done using a web browser on any PC or Mac.

An iPad will change your life in a good way. We have at least six. They are in constant us all day and night... my partner stays up all night. All news, review and edit photos, mail, control my streamers, garage doors, etc. Keep track of health data, maintain a knowledge base, read hundreds of books. research music... endless value.
