If you are looking for a no frills and cheap streamer, take a look at the Google Chromecast Audio. They pull the stream via WiFi which you can setup through the Google Home App. The output jack is a 3.5 mm audio out which doubles as an optical out. All you would need to buy is a mini Toslink Audioquest adapter and can connect to your Dac via optical if you want.
They are discontinued but can be purchased on eBay…
Positives….very affordable and the combo mini Toslink/3.5 mm audio out is versatile. Compatible with the Google Chromecast topology. All work with Spotify, Tidal, and Qobuz that you can connect to from your phone or tablet.
Negatives…the sound output is limited at 96/24 bit, so anything higher gets downscaled. I use them for my outdoor speakers, and in the bedrooms that go to my Bluetooth speakers. This was my first streamer I used with an Audioquest Dragonfly red when I first started out on the cheap to save money. I have it connected to my surround sound system if I don’t want to fire up my tube amp…and I use it as a backup connection to my tube amp.
So it really depends on your budget… can it compare to the Bluesound Node or a Cambridge Audio…..no. But at like 4x the price…it just comes down to affordability.
