These streamers stream music from services like Spotify, Apple Music, etc. You can stream music from your iPhone, for example. However, the streaming services stream music at a very high resolution (CD quality or better), and if you have a good enough HiFi system and want to take full advantage of the high-resolution stream, you may want to have dedicated streamers like these.
I own the standard A6 and it's incredible for the price, especially with this sale. It's closer to state of the art than any sub-$1,000 component has a right to be and has many features I'm still not even taking advantage of yet. The firmware is updated frequently and new functionality has been added since I bought the unit. Highly recommended, if you're on the fence.

So, is this like a NAS device for your personal music Cloud Storage?
Not really. These units stream music from providers such as Spotify, Apple Music, etc. That being said, for these units in particular, if you have a collection of CDs, you can rip them, save the files to internal storage, and stream your own music.

What is the difference from using apps on a Shield that is connected to my receiver?
I wouldnt bother with this if you don't have hifi speakers and amp yet. I'll put my money on those first. If you need a streamer, go buy a WiiM Pro and call it a day
Honest question. Why not use an Apple TV if streaming music using existing home theater?
Some people dont use apple music and dont want to use airplay to stream music because of a couple of reasons: 1. Hi Res music (not possible via airplay) or 2. Natively run the music app in the streaming device rather than their phones. But running apple music on Apple TV or using airplay is a good way to stream music to your stereo system.
For newbees, I own one and others. What this does is stream from many different vendors (apple music, spotify, amazon, tidal, quobuz, ...) AND you can put a NVMe SSD up to 2TB and store your music on this device and play them all with decent quality. The A6 works well as a streamer to your external DAC, which is how I use it. I have tried many different streamers and this is probably the best one at this price point. As a streamer to an external DAC, it beats the competition at this price point. If you use the internal DAC, the A6 is mediocre, so people upgrade to the A8, which has a much better DAC. You need a pretty good system to hear the benefit. For many people, the Wiim pro plus is cheaper, does the same thing, but isnt quite the same sound quality as this. I also have the Wiim pro plus for my office system. If you want an all-in-one, wait for the Wiim Amp Pro coming out shortly, which has a decent built in amp as well.

So you pay $800 to stream mp3 quality music and play garbage quality that is 3% less garbage compared to your phone? And instead of simply playing on BT speaker you have a pile of amplifiers and dacs and streamers... to get that 3% placebo improvement?
Mmm... okay. I always wondered who on earth buys all these dacs and streamers that are reviewed on ASR every day.
I personally can't imagine a scenario when I would need one of those nor do I quite understand why any sane person would use them.
But to each their own, I guess.There's many ways to spend your money stupidly, and I guess I found another one.

Audiophiles! That's the reason. It's an expensive obsession. There is a bit of gear collection addiction that comes with it. These days, a few brands (SMSL, Eversolo, Fiio, Fosi, Aiyima, Topping, Loxjie etc.) have popped up which offer slightly to massively cheaper devices which offers same or better quality as old/vintage/established brands (Rotel, Leak, Parasound, Marantz, Onkyo, Yamaha, Cambridge audio, etc.)
Dedicated DACs, high end audio processing chips inside DACs, Extra high end clocks and ultra pure current powering the gear are now even more accessible. It's following the same path like Fast Fashion.
There's also there new need for DACs - digital to analog convertors- since the music source is digital (Streaming audio).
Then there's the bit-depth and bitrate (read accuracy) advocacy.
most people I think will not be able to notice a huge difference between Bluetooth delivered regular YouTube audio vs high res FLAC or Qobuz streams. But those who care continues to buy these devices and services.
This is diff from the Atmos/HDR+/room correction loving home theater afficionados.
I think a good set of speakers and a good space/room where they are positioned would get you the most mileage in terms of listening quality. Then maybe a dedicated subwoofer, sub-100$ amplifier (integrated is easier), followed by good source (lossless audio streams). YMMV since everyone's listening preferences vary, choice of music vary and most of all, human ears can't even hear beyond certain frequencies.
Overall, I'm pretty excited about Adorama identifying and promoting these audio focused devices and speakers. Great offers continuously have popped up and thanks Iconian for posting them. Keep them coming!

So would this be comparable to Bluesound Node?
