What do I need to Stream online music?

Hello,

I was out over 18 years and now coming back.  Seem many hi end audiophile are doing streaming musics.  I have no knowledge about this.  Any advice on what do it need to start, which site is a good site to download musics.

Thank you,
Eddy

Sonos Connect has great user interface, and very easy to use and set up. If you use Tidal you might want to add a low cost DAC like Parasound ZDac or Peachtree Dac-Itx. For Spotify or Pandora no additional DAC needed. After that there are many ways to go, but this is a low cost, easy to use, way to start. And if you don't like it, resale on these components will get you all your money back !

I'm listening to a tablet hooked up to the aux. on my pre-amp right now. Just need a mini to dual rca cable and you're in.  There are many options to choose from depending on your equipment.

abucktwoeighty brings up a point I didn't think about.Streaming is PC based so all you really need is internet,music service,headphones or powered speakers like the audioengine A2.This is the absolute basic system & although the sound would be a major step up over the computer speakers it would be a long way from what streaming is capable of.
