Watching Jude describe the products he'll be looking for at CanJam (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OB-gbUg1azQ) got me out of my holding pattern with my music and listening preferences, but I need some advice.
If I want to create a stack of 2 or 3 components on the side table next to "my chair" (I'm old) for headphone listening, what's my best bet for accessing my music? I've got 600 CD's ripped to FLAC files on a hard drive upstairs. I subscribe to Google Play Music. I use an Android phone (Google Pixel 2 XL).
Do I need a portable music player with a high capacity SD card? Should I use GPM exclusively since my ripped music was uploaded to GPM?
Before picking the right amp, dac, headphones, etc., I want to decide whether the music is on an external drive, on a music player or streamed from my phone.
Thanks. (If this has been specifically addressed previously, just point me to the right forum category or post and accept my apologies for overlooking it.)
