lossless wireless streaming of music

[André van Deventer]

Hi all

 

I know this kind of thing has been talked about a lot but I am new to this.
I’ve never had to look at this so I’m starting from scratch.

 

I’m perhaps considering streaming music from my computer to my hifi system
in another room.  At present I have a too long cable doing the same but I am
picking up a slight hum on the system.

 

I have a wireless adaptor on my computer.  Could I use it to do this or do I
need something else on the computer side.

 

Then of course at the the wifi side you would need some kind of DAC wireless
capability?

 

Sound quality is very important to me so I am wondering whether it is
possible to stream music wirelessly in lossless format?  In other words is
the quality the same as using a direct cable connection?
