getting into streaming

So after many years of playing cd's, I'm considering getting into streaming music. I would prefer to use the DAC in my accuphase CD player; my question is I assume any streamer would require something additional to control it (smart phone, tablet etc) but I'm wondering if there is something out there that has its own controller to use to surf for songs, so I don't have to buy anything else to use it

here was my stream sequence:

 

I started with an Apple TV to a cheap peachtree dac.

Then dedicated Arcam Airplay dac streamer thing.

Then a Bluesound Node 2i.

Then Node to a Chord Qutest.

Then added a LPS to Chord.

Then brought in Pontus II.

Then moved Teddy Pardo LPS to a Bluesound 130.

NOW have Auralic Aries G1.1 and THAT, my friends, (for me and my listening architecture) is game, set, match.

The Aries has its own HD and I am ripping CDs to it. It’s perfect for me. 
I can’t use an Ethernet connection and Auralic has figured out wifi. I loved the BLUOS app and I think Auralic app sucks….sorry.
