How to adapt Elicit-r to your needs?


Hello to all.
After a long and exhausting search for components for my FIRST hi-fi system, my choice fell on the Kef Q550 speakers and on the Rega Elicit-r amplifier. Unfortunately, I must note that the amp Rega is badly suited to my needs. I would basically listen to streaming music (Tidal ...) and on my smartphone I stored almost 40 Gb of mp3 music (almost all Springsteen bootleg that is not found on streaming music services), so I would also need Bluetooth connectivity. Turning Rega into a digital machine seems to me a very difficult mission: it has no digital inputs, it has no USB, it has no Bluetooth, it doesn't even have a Dac. I ask you who are very experienced (I am a child who is learning to walk) to help me find the right solutions that do not require heavy financial costs. Or maybe I'll have to surrender to fall back on another amplifier?

I would add a Bluesound Node 2i which will give you streaming as well as Bluetooth, airplay etc - it'll work great in the context of your system.

I wouldn't personally buy an amp/dac/streamer together as digital is moving too fast - better to have a good analogue only integrated like you already have and add a relatively inexpensive streamer that can easily be changed or upgraded at a later point in time.
