Best Cheap DAC Streamer


I have come to possess a fairly high quality setup with Linn Amps and Speakers, but I have no where near the wealth to buy the type of gear discussed on here. (Furthermore, if I did, I hope I would send a good chunk of it to fix cleft plates in India before spending tens of thousands on a stereo.)I tend to do most of my listening from my phone by way of car stereo, ear buds or an $85 JBL Flip speaker. 

I want to set up a home streaming/DAC device that will sound good enough for my ears. I would like the interface to be simple for getting music from a streaming service, with music info available on a display, and I would like it to have a voice activated interface which might encourage me to listen to more music on the stereo at home. I know some of you can't wait to scorn me for my weak listening abilities. Maybe you can skip it this time and let anyone speak up who has some some advice on a system for pretty close to $300 (or less!). I would consider buying used.

Not sure about the voice capabilities, but I absolutely love my Cambridge Audio MXN10. I can control everything from my iPhone and it sounds oh so good!!

Thanks for all the help! At this point, more advice could only make things more difficult! I'll be ordering that WiiM Ultra.

Good because I am taking back my recommendation. A friend corrected me. 
He sold his Node after, on a whim, trying an Auris Pro. 
It suited his needs and sounded marvelous

I have a WiiM Ultra but I don’t use its DAC. But my friends that do have very good things to say about the Ultra’s DAC.
