Where to go from here - Dac/Integrated Amp Etc...?


I am looking to upgrade my system to include streaming from Tidal to my audio setup. Not looking to use Bluetooth or a phone, or computer. 

Currently, I have a mostly 2 channel setup geared towards vinyl and Cd's

Equipment includes:
Elac Debut 2.0 B6.2 speakers
Subwoofer
Cd player
RP1 Turntable
NAD 7240 PE(don't let the watts fool you, it cranks out over 150 watts per channel)

Wondering if I'd be better off getting a stand-alone network device +DAC, or an integrated amp with network capabilities like the Yahama R-N303. Would the 303 be better/cleaner for 2 channel audio then the NAD 7240?

Any advice would be welcome.

To the  extent possible stick with dedicated devices.   A standalone network device and DAC that is dedicated to your music should yield much better results regarding sound quality.
