Well mostly it's a streaming destination.
But my use... Raspberry Pi as a network transport from my NAS / Plex > DAC > speakers.
Spotify and Chromecast direct to speakers (the speakers have this built in) but most of my listening is via local streaming from FLAC files.
The fact that I only need power is attractive, I don't need to connect the speakers together (I may, but I don't have to). So I can place these quite wide apart without running heavy cables between them.
I have some components still, an old tape deck, radio, etc... but I never use them, but if I did I'd connect via the coax or aux. I don't use CD as when I have CDs I just rip them to FLAC.
I'm mostly focusing on LAN streaming from the NAS at the highest quality to the best speakers I can... and then internet streaming is a mere convenience tick.
I already have KEF LSX speakers in the kitchen which I love for their clarity and warmth (and lack of cables) but I would like something that punches a little louder in the front room, hence looked at the LS50 Wireless 2.
A system around these speakers is really just the speakers and getting a digital signal to them.
