Best way to send digital to DAC

With a DAC I have no interface or file management.  What is the best sounding way to send and control music into the USB Class 2 for High Res without using a computer direct?

Can I use a Synology with great sound or is there something I can control files with but the files are on the device hard wired to the DAC?

It's an Aesthetix DAC

I have a. Synology NAS and there is some software on it but it didn’t seem to perform the “rendering “ function.  Since I already owned Bluesound and was interested in controlling my NAS with that I didn’t explore it much further.  A think the Node 2 or 2i is a great way to control the NAS, sounds very good, and offers every music service from Internet Radio and every streaming service.  I am listening to the new Andries Nelsons Boston Symphony recording of Shostakovich Seventh Symphony via on Qobuz with the Node2 and it’s highly satisfying.
btw, if you use a renderer such as Bluesound, you don’t need to connect the Synology to the DAC.
