Adding WiFi or BT to vintage stereo system?

Based on my research it seems that WiFi offers better sound quality than BT but can’t find any WiFi adaptors. Saw one source that suggested hooking an old smart phone to receiver via e3.5mm -RCA cables for WiFi streaming. Will this work? If not, thoughts on the best BT streaming receiver?Original Owner, Onkyo TX-25 receiver Allison LC 110 speakers Pioneer PL-4 turntable New CD player pending

Hey Luke. Welcome

I use a smartphone as my interface with streaming. I mostly use Amazon Music, but WiFi on the phone means you can source anywhere. My experience favors WiFi over BT. Hardwired phone to aux, way more detail., and no concerns with signal drop form BT.  I m scouting WiFi streamers as well. as I want to access HiRez content. Keep me posted on your research if you don't mind.

Upgrade that receiver (too old to integrate streaming capability with any sense of practicality)

My Allison’s are 33 years young, but my processor, came down the pike in 2014.

I use 4 streamers with it, depending on what’s convenient at that moment, iPhone, iPod, Sony Blu-ray player, or Amazon Firestick. And yes WiFi will net you better audio than Bluetooth.
