Adding streaming services to a streamer via usb

Is there a way to add streaming services to a streamer that are not native to the streamer?  Many streamers don't come with native support of some streaming services, in my case Qobuz or Amazon Music.  Is there a way to add those services to a usb drive, connected to the streamer, so that I can access them "natively", without having to Airplay the content at a lower resolution?

My streamer is a ModWright modded Oppo Sonica. 

 

Thank you,

Looks like I'm going to try the hardwired route and see what happens.  

I might throw Volumio on a usb drive and see what happens but it appears Volumio might actually need to be tied to a cpu.  I thought I read somewhere a while back about a third-party app for the iphone that would bypass the dac software and output hi-res but I can't find that either.

Thanks for the replies.

I appreciate the additional insight into your individual experiences.  

I'm going to grab a long lightning usb cable w/camera adapter and hard wire it to the Sonica usb port while I digest some of these ideas. 

My family uses the system as well so adding wireless for all services at some point would be ideal.  

Thanks again,
