Thanks rh But I'm not exactly sure I understand from your previous post. My receiver has a nice 200 WPC into to Sonus Faber bookshelves. I am no expert on new tech so when and were is my next investment?
Digital streaming options for my system are confusing

It has a DAC but tech in this area is evolving at such a rapid rate that I am confused as the best way to access a high audio quality streaming/digital playback source.

I had to place artwork into many of those album file folders and properly label the artwork. https://support1.bluesound.com/hc/en-us/articles/200271926-Why-is-some-of-my-Album-Cover-Art-shown-a... |
