Going to try digital

I just use blue sound 2i, $499.00. Works great. We use tidal for 20 per month. I use my andriod galaxy 6 to control it. My other half uses her iPhone 7.  It's quite simple to use and has a really good dac or u can use your on dac.  If u want to rip CDs or what ever you can get the blue vault. I think that's about 1k. Not positive on that price but I think I'm close. U can also use your I pad with it.  And with tidal we use it in are vehicles thru blue tooth.

Left a something out. You can also pay 10 a month for tidal,  the 20 per month is for hifi people.  The music is also completely unlimited.  I have found every recording that I have looked up. I've been using it for 2 months. Strictly with our phones as controllers. It does have wifi, but I hooked it strait thru with a cat 6 cable.

I definitely don't have the tech knowledge that you guys have, so I'm always learning thru your treads.  But due to the horrible wifi in my home, I used cat 6a shielded thru out. I grounded my punch panel in the basement. I never heard any electrical noise at all. I use the dac in the blue Sound 2i for now and will eventually in the near future use the dac in the anthem preamp via optical once I purchase it. But the blue Sound 2i sounds great to me. And I enjoy the simplicity of blue sound. There maybe other solutions,  but I am not a very good tech guy.
