Looking for a streamer/DAC

OK. 
an old dog trying to catch a new stick. Looking for a streamer/DAC that includes Wi-Fi and would be best to run through my McIntosh MA352. 
I’m confused about the preamp section in many products. Can the preamp be bypassed so I can continue to enjoy the warmth of the tubes?

I have B&W 803 D4 speakers and max budget of $4-5K. 
thanks.

Thanks so much for all the helpful responses. I have looked at the Moon, but will check Bryson and others based on your suggestions. 
and I may just start with the Node to begin my streaming experience and upgrade later.

More good suggestions to consider. Thanks. 
I am slowly building my new system. Very happy with the accuracy of the B&W speakers with the added warmth and smoothness of the MA352. 
mill rrsearch all. Never heard of a wall wart so it’s off to new learning.

So many choices. Being new to streaming and after evaluating so many helpful responses I’m leaning towards starting with Bluesound Node only and evaluating. 
it has a very good and easy to use operating system and I can continue to evaluate adding a high quality DAC to the system later. 
thanks so much for all the guidance.
