    My Simaudio 680d would get the job done nicely.

    For 500.00 it would be unbelievable. I was drooling over it earlier....very nice.

    A BlueSound Node 2 will do that. You can pick them up used for probably half your budget, shipped. FWIW.

    That's what started my streaming journey.

    I dig my WiiM Pro Plus (model down from the Ultra).

    Gonna perhaps buy some of the minis to replace my chromecast audios.

    BlueSound Node 2 or 3 and get the super simple to install linear supply board and a good 5V 3A linear power supply and you'll be golden.

    I only sold mine to get the Roon Nucleus One which is also a server, otherwise I would have kept my BlueSound Node 3 w/lps.

    I bought the node from @heiney9 . I got an LPS on USaudiomart because H9 kept his. It sounds great especially since Spotify now has lossless available. Looking to try Qobuz sometime this winter.

    I am enjoying Qobuz and looking forward to trying out Q Connect on the WiiM Ultra. My Bluesound Nano is getting moved to the living room so I never have to listen to FM on my Rotel Receiver anymore. FM radio is such a wasteland nowadays.
