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 have tried unsuccessfully with "just" streamers, Not only sound quality varies a lot but ease of use with the app. I have ended up, and I am currently happy with my Bryston bdp2 ( I have 2 of them!) and DCS upsampler (streamer included)
DCS do just a streamer (Network Bridge), which is one below the upsampler which is very good. In my view the only Naim product to compare is the top of range £10k + version (not the lower ones) but I don't think that gives such "value".
The bdp2 prices will have dropped to make it an absolute steal 2nd hand as the bdp3 is out and not a sonic improvement apparently.
I looked at the Bluesound and have been put off for reasons which escape me at the moment. From memory it was quality of sound and connectivity in my particular system.

Whilst writing I pondered over the use of Airplay suggested above, Airplay in Roon is far inferior  to normal wired ethernet so maybe the context I am missing on other products.
