Hidizs AP 80 Pro - Alternative to Laptop with long USB cable and Schiit DAC?

What is the expected benefit regarding audio quality: Laptop/25ftUSB/Modi3 vs Laptop/network/Wiim Pro ? 

Is the the Wiim Pro "streamer" and its DAC better than long USB C and Modi? 

Alternatively: 

Laptop/Onkyo (use Onkyo DAC), but not sure how music is controlled then (onkyo display is marginal). 

Wiim Pro 

Air Play 2 receiver

Would this (are same model) do?  I have Android phone.

Connect Onkyo to Network: need find out how 'convenient' acces to music is via Onkyo on network. How does the Onkyo DAC compare to the Modi?

Will look into cost of a Wiim (is that a "streamer" or a "netowork player" or ???)

I assume music 'control' is then still through the laptop? Or through the Wiim 'app' by phone?

Thank you for the tips. 

I will start with connecting the Onkyo to the network (hardwire or wireless, not sure yet). See how it 'feels' (ease of use) and sound. 

Wiim is the next option; I like hte (likely userfriendly) control via Android app.
