assuming your 'desktop' is providing you the music to your stereo, that is 'streaming'. Not sure the formal definition but probably any digital source that delivers digitally stored music to a player that can transport this to a DAC

I think of streaming as network-delivered digital audio. If you're playing local files from a computer to a DAC, I think of that as just digital audio, like playing a CD.
Why not connect the DAC directly to your monoblocks? If you however like the tubes deterioration of the otherwise nicely clean signal you can add the distortion digitally on your PC.
