Alternative to Audirvana and Audrivana Studio -- how to stream wirelessly?

I tried to simplify my music listening as much as I can. Got Hegel integrated with built-in DAC and WIFI. I was happily using Audirvana to stream with minor glitches until recently when the software become unusable. I can't seem to find the problem and they can't help me. I can use a USB cable from Tidal and listen that way but I prefer a wireless connection. I think that way sound is slightly better. 
I also tried finding answers to this question on the forum but could not locate a similar discussion. 
Any suggestions? thank you in advance.

hegel, famously, does not yet have roon compatibility. roon is crazy expensive, too. 
many thanks for all suggestions

i would not want to do AirPlay or Chromecast or Bluetooth because of their low quality. it defeats the purpose of putting together high-end equipment.  Audirvana is, as far as I know, the only application that maintains the high quality of the source.

i am surprised by the number of answers. What I am trying to do is the best combination of simplicity and quality of listening. You might get better quality with records but not a better choice or easier access. 
Is it possible that only a few of HIFI enthusiast use the new technology?

isn't 120 for Roon on top of 1k for the equipment? 
I have Big Sur OS -- just updated from HS. possible issues are related. Weird thing is that I have issues on some days but not on others. Issues vary during each day too. I have no issue with any other of the 5 machines or streaming applications that are on the same WIFI system. 
I tried the new Audrivana Studio. Same variety of issues.
