Need DAC/Streaming Advice

I currently own a Bryston BDP-2 digital player that I run through a Bryston DAC.  As far as playing high resolution files via a thumb drive or other external drive, the BDP-2 sounds great.  The streaming part leaves a lot to be desired.  I can stream Tidal but it is extremely slow and the IPad controller is pretty lousy.  I can listen to Sonos through the DAC into my main system but obviously there is no hi-Rez via Sonos. I would like to find a better solution and am willing to start over (I can move the Bryston components to my secondary system).  What I would like to find is a higher end streamer for my main system that would allow me to stream Tidal, Spotify and Deezer if possible while also playing digital files via thumb drive etc. I have no idea if that can be done in a one box solution or if I would need a separate streamer and DAC.  I would very much appreciate any and all thoughts.  Thanks in advance.

The BDP-2 should be a nice streamer. It should be more than quick enough. I would try different sofware before buying an other streamer. 
Serious music server software on a NAS might do the trick. I'm using Minimstreamer. It's very responsive. Other player software might be it. Like Bubbleupnp on an Android Phone. I'm using Bubbleupnp with Tidal/Qobuz for 3 years now. It always has been immediate in its response.
