Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone?

I want to give something like this a try , but I’m just not huge on Sabre DACs . They sound too digital to me . My only reference to them though is through oppo 105 and 205

The Brooklyn DAC+ is on my very short list of streaming DACs. I've been reading the owner's manual online (https://mytekdigital.com/download_library/manuals/Brooklyn_DAC+_Manual.pdf) and although my router is located in the same room as my audio system, the Brooklyn doesn't have the capability to connect to the router wirelessly. 

After reading page 8 of their manual, I'm still not sure I understand how I would be able to connect this DAC to the internet.

Forgive me for being digitally challenged.

@route-66 By itself, the Brooklyn doesn't stream from the internet so that's why you're confused about the connection.  It converts the digital stream from other devices to analog (and acts as a preamp if desired).  Probably the simplest setup (from a connection standpoint) is to connect your computer to the Brooklyn via USB, set the computer to send audio output to the USB device, and use any of a number of programs to stream music from the internet through the Brooklyn's DAC.  However, there are numerous other devices that can be used to stream as well.

@djohnson54 , Thank you!

It's gonna take me some time to get up to speed with digital. I guess what I should be looking for is something called a streamer or a streaming DAC if I don't want to be using my laptop to stream music through my integrated amp.

I was so much easier with analog. :-D

@route-66 I understand.  There CAN be lots of parts to a digital setup but I suppose that's true of analog as well (table, tonearm, cartridge, phono preamp, cables).  I'm using a Logitech Touch but those are only available used anymore.  Many people start with a Bluesound Node which has a built-in DAC but can also output to an external DAC like the Brooklyn.  Another (more expensive) option are the Aurender models.
