If you've got a Google Home or Alexa speaker you can even have voice control of it. Just plug in your turntable and stream it to a Sonos speaker, or plug it into your amp and speakers and stream via Airplay 2 or the Sonos app. It doesn’t look much, but Sonos Port offers an extremely smooth transition from the wired to wireless world. But if you have a collection of super hi-res music stored and you've splashed out on an elite amp, then look for the DACs with higher-end components and file support. If you have a pretty average system, then pretty much anything we recommend will satisfy. The features of the DAC part are important depending on how high quality you want the music to be. The features of the streaming part are important only in terms of making sure that the services you want are supports: some only support basic Bluetooth, some support high-quality aptX Bluetooth, some support Apple AirPlay 2, some support Sonos, some support all of these, some support just one… so you should know what technical support you want when buying. A streaming DAC adds two key components for an old-school system: the part that receives wireless signals and includes the right tech for decoding them and the part that converts those digital music signals into analogue signals than your amp can understand, so you can then play to some of the best bookshelf speakers.
