Music streamer with no DAC and no storage?

I have an all digital Kii Three audio system (active speakers with DACS and amps) controlled by the Kii Controller fed by a KS Realization USB cable from my Mac PowerBook, with Shunyata Denali and Alpha power cords feeding the speakers.  I am looking for a top-notch streamer without a DAC (already built in to my speakers) and with no storage needed (I only stream from h-res streaming services in 24/44 - 24/192).  I would like to play the streaming services without my Mac computer, but don't need all the functions currently offered in the current all-purpose streamers.  Any ideas?

I also use the Node2, but the OP may want to investigate the Elam Discovery

@tatyana69  have been using Bluesound for the past 3 years but while sonically it’s wonderful, it’s been a buggy troublesome experience.  I just had another frustrating 2 days where one of their frequent downloads screwed everything up.
  I tried the Bryston BDA2 as a demo and sonically thought it was a tie with Bluesound.  Does it work well, though?  Have you had difficulties at all?  I’ve been lusting after the bdp3 but it’s really pricey...
