Being an ignoramus (and also generally uninterested) in most things digital, I wonder if someone here, in steps of one syllable, as it were, itemise what I'd need for streaming quality radio signal into my system.
I don't have a smart TV. My desktop computer in upstairs in the office; my system (valves pre. + mono's) is downstairs. I don't have a smartphone.
Judging from above comments, a major difference between streaming and FM through the air is one of warmth rather than quality. Maybe 'listenability' and 'involvement factor' can be added here?
I use a redundant smart phone (just buy a cheap one), linked to the wifi. Find BBC Sounds (stupid name) and a nice long cable (3m) with a mini jack at one end (that goes in the phone) and phono’s at the other.
One of these but I seem to remember paying less than £3.00:
