RE: Best digital source for my system, asking advice

I don't own a Bluesound Note, but I do recommend it for people just getting into Streaming Audio from a Computer. (A Bluesound is a Computer)

A much better and cheaper alternative to the Bluesound Node is the Raspberry Pi 3, at less than $100..... I hesitate a bit to recommend the Pi to those just getting into Computer Audio as it requires a little more thinking than just plugging it in. But, it is still pretty much Child's Play for a rainy afternoon... PiCorePlayer has made it pretty simple. (Link Below)

And LMS running on the Pi is a far superior interface than the Bluesound Note.... You should try a Pi 3 and see for yourself. It is cheap enough that you can't go wrong.
