Best streamer, don't want Roon, don't want a screen, A DAC is OK but not necessary

AURENDER.   

Which Aurender?

Using an early Auralic Aries with the Vega for a s/s system with Maggies, seems like the Aries has very good sound stage and response. Also using a Lumin U1 mini with a Schiit Yggy GS, in my tube system with Totem Forests. Lumin is very nice with the Yggy softening the sound a bit.

If you want a streamer without built-in DAC, there is the Lindemann Network II for about $1000USD. (You can add an USB drive if desired) The app is excellent as well.

There is also the Melco N100 with 5tb storage for $2500 - possibly the best sounding family of music servers. I use the JPlay app with the Melco.

Eversolo A8. You can turn the screen off if you don’t like it. DAC out if you don’t like the internal one (which is very good.) Integrates with every streaming source I’ve ever heard of and more. You can rip CDs to it, ARC hdmi to your T.V., network it, copy files to it, listen to podcasts and hundreds (maybe thousands) of high quality internet radio stations. I don’t know what else anyone would want. Needless to say I’m very happy with mine. The only thing that might bother people, but others will love, is the high quality R2R volume control which goes clickety click. The software interface for your iPhone or iPad is excellent.
