RE: Newbie here - Basic question

OK, you mentioned the 'Network Device', which would be a Music Streamer. This was not on your list... But if you want quality within a tight Budget, I would recommend a Raspberry Pi with some free Streaming Software such as PiCorePlayer... this will run you under a $100 (It is what I use) and will have a USB input to your Schiit DAC.

Then to 'connect' the rest of the Dots, you should

1.) get someone over to your house (A knowledgeable friend) to help you get your Home Network Set up. Once that is set up and working. You can get the Music working. Get it set up right to avoid problems down the road.

2.) Then It is a matter of getting your CD's to disk... You need some software such as DBPowerAmp to do the copying (Ripping as it is referred to here).

3.) Get a Raspberry Pi to stream the CDs on your NAS to your Schiit DAC.

4.) Then you can add a Music Streaming Service for around $10-$15 and have access to about 50 Million Tracks of Music..
