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

Keep it simple.

Budget wasn’t specified.  I would start with a laptop that has been enhanced with a program like Audirvana Plus.  Or for approximately 1K get a Cambridge Audio CXN 60.  It has a great app that works with Apple or Android.  It adds Chromecast and AirPlay so you can play from the portable device if you wish.  Great with Internet Radio and Podcasts.  Sounds great
