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,

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,

It’s hard for anyone to collaborate with Amazon because they do not share tech unless they can sell commercials. You’ll have to "reverse engineer" diy.

At least you are in a 100% better place than the OP will ever be with Oppo.

@cdtd I just recently picked up an IFI Zen Streamer to use with my Oppo Sonica that I've been using for years as my streamer/dac. Was able to stream Spotify no issue. I just managed to connect Quboz today thru Mconnect hd to try hi res streaming. Only concern I have to figure out is that my streamer shows its streaming hi res 24/96 but my oppo dac is saying 44.1 pcm. not sure what to make of this but it sounds good. Recommend the Zen.
