Hello all,
I currently have a hifi setup consisting of Mordaunt Short's Avant 906i floorstanding speakers, and CA Azur 640A amplifier. Currently using a regular DVD/CD player to play my CDs.
I listen to a lot of music online - and mostly 128kbps streams. I want to play these audio streams on my Hifi system.
I understand that at a minimum I need a DAC to interface with my music system. Thinking of checking out the CA dacMagic product.
More importantly, these are the options am exploring:
- Best option: I require a mechanism by which I can stream the music directly to the DAC, via some other device, other than my laptop. This device should connect to the audio stream wirelessly. Basically yet another internet device connected to my wireless router.
- Ok option: I connect my laptop to my wireless router, as always. I then route the speaker outputs to an attached device (USB?), which wirelessly transmits the signals to a receiver device that then interfaces to the DAC.
Any suggestions on the options available in this space? Or is this a DIY project that I need to embark on?
Thank you,
Kiran
