Does the product streams directly from the app (Spotify,Tidal...) or is it intermediated by another device (like iPhone). In other words, does it act as a BlueTooth receiver while using a streaming service or does it use its internal software and DAC to send out the signal?
Another question: Is the out signal to be connected directly to the amplifier or it has to be connected to the preamplifier (or PHONO)? Merci!

I have experience with Spotify. You have to use phone to start the music. But then the device connects directly to Spotify server to play music. So you can do other things on your phone (or even switch it off). Essentially you are using the phone as a remote control. 

You connect the out signal directly to the amp* 
* To be clear I have an integrated stereo amplifier. So I am not sure if you are taking about a mono block amp. If yes, then you probably need a separate receiver.
