Hardware Options for Streaming Music From Internet via Pandora, Tidal, etc.
What are the best hardware options for streaming music from internet radio sources?
Right now, I’m using Apple iDevices (iPod, iPad, iPhone) and Echo Dot to access the internet wirelessly - connected to my several pre-amps, amps, via an audio cable (typically 3.5mm mini to RCA, or mini to mini port).
I also use a Pure Audio i-20 iDock, with my iPod, which can connect to a DAC via various digital interfaces - if I want to use a DAC external to the iDevices (e.g. W4S DSD II SE, etc.).
Are there any other, better, alternatives (to iDevices, or Android Devices) for streaming music directly from the various internet radio stations - for a reasonable cost (<$1000)?
And... I don’t mean... laptops, notebooks, PC’s. I mean some type of dedicated internet receiver, with a solid state buffer, which can receive the digital stream from any of the services, and transmit it to a DAC via optical, coaxial, USB, etc. (not analog).
