Hello everyone. I've been listening to CDs and LPs for years but a novice of digital streaming. I listen to Spotify in my second system by connecting my PC to a Schitt USB DAC and feeding to a tube amp and bookshelf speaker.
I want to incorporate Spotify playing in my main system and want your opinion and suggestions on gears and connection method for a high quality sound reproduction. The Marantz SA14 SACD player I use in the main system has can be used as an USB DAC. Will it have a much better sound quality to play Spotify through a streamer and a stand alone DAC than from a PC? Is connection through LAN much better than wireless? Which streamer or DAC would you recommend? I don't listen to hi-resolution files, only Spotify and sometimes Tidal.
Thank you.
