OK, tell me how to do it. I have a 2-ch system driven by a 10-year-old receiver with analog-only inputs. I'm typing this on an aging MacBook Air but its software is up to date. No possibility of a wired ethernet connection to any device close to the receiver. I also have an iphone 6 running iOS 12.5.3 (highest level it will run, per Apple).
I need detailed instructions, at the lowest possible level, in order to get anything computery to work.
I/we can definitely walk you through. But a few questions might narrow it down:
1) Do you use your iPhone 6 as a phone? Or can it be used as a dedicated WiFi streamer (does not need to be on broadband, just WiFi)?
2) Do you already have preference in music-streaming provider? If not, what kind of music do you prefer, in broadest terms?
3) Do you care about a ‘remote control’ - be able to select/control you music from your MacBook or iPhone while sitting in a comfy armchair away from your receiver? Or are you ok to walk to a screened device cabled to the receiver to chose your music?
4) Would you be interested in ripping your existing CDs to augment the streaming service? Eg, with something unique you might have in your current collection?
