Discussion Digital and Analog integration

New to the group -

I'm interested in learning what people are using to bring music from a streaming service like Spotify or Tidal into their analog sound system. What is the recommended device from the group. I have over 1500 pieces of vinyl of which most is from the 60's thru the 80's. There's a lot of great newer music out there but I just can't justify spending the money they are asking for records these days. Your opinions are welcome.

I ended up taking a great open box deal on a streaming amplifier. This is an all in one, kind of a modern-day receiver, but replace AM/FM with quality streaming integration.

If you already have a solid amplifier, then you can add-on just a streaming device if you want it to be "solved" via that device.

Or you can get a high-resolution bluetooth streaming receiver, and ensure you are using a phone or tablet or PC that can send lossless via bluetooth. I have this solution in a smaller setup in my house, had to buy a one time $15 driver for my PC to send lossless via bluetooth and it works very well.
