    Yamaha WXA-50 alternatives

    Hi guys, I am new to hifi and I was wondering if it's possible to use a cheap android tablet as a streamer (connected to wifi) which would pass digital signal to the DAC via USB and the DAC would serve as a preamp for volume control in the whole chain. I am specifically keen to know if Amazon...
