Need streaming advice


I currently stream Tidal HiFi to a Chromecast Audio which is connected optically to my Schiit Yggy. I thought it sounded great, and love sitting on the couch and playing anything I want using my phone.

Last night I hooked a notebook up to the Yggy via USB and played my music from the Tidal windows app. It sounds better. 

How do I achieve the same quality (or better) of streaming while not having to get my ass off the couch to change songs? Is there something like a CCA that has much better jitter?

I stream Tidal using BlueOs application on my mobile device from anywhere in the house. But you need a Bluesound Node2 or another Bluesound gear to accomplish this. I've compared the Node2 with running Tidal application from my PC using asynchronous USB via a separate DAC and I honestly couldn't tell the difference, especially now that BluOs mobile application supports Tidal Masters with MQA. The Tidal integration with Bluesound is literally seamless.
