Amazon Music High Definition and Ultra High Definition Equipment Requirements

My goal is to use my late-model iPhone to stream music from Amazon HD/Ultra-HD through some sort of DAC and then on to my stereo (old McIntosh with Bozak speakers). I see that the upper transmission rate specified by Amazon is 24 bit/192 kHz. Am I correct in assuming that a DAC such as, for example, the Schiit Modi+ , will allow me to accomplish this goal?  For reference, here is. link to specs on this DAC:

I use an Android phone and Chromecast whenever possible from the phone to my Cambridge Audio CXN 60 streamer/dac.  I also have an iPad and occasionally stream from it, but it’s limited to AirPlay, which is CD resolution (approximately).  I also don’t use Amazon Music.

  Can the Bluesound Node stream Amazon over the Network or does it have to use the Bluetooth?

yes, one advantage of Amazon is being able to directly handle many streaming services.  My CA handles only Qobuz and Tidal, everything else requires AirPlay or Chromecast

Can the Schiit do Bluetooth or AirPlay? If so can you get the Amazon that way?  If it works that then the issue the connection.
