I use a Bluesound Node 2 for streaming in my lounge. I ripped all my DVD-A and SACD's using "DVD Audio extractor" for DVD-A and my Oppo 103 for SACD's (ripped with "iso2DSD" over a network connection), "Exact Audio Copy" for CD's.
The bluesound node 2 is also hooked up to Tidal.
For storage and as a server I use a QNAP NAS running a Roon core and the Node 2 acts as the end point. I control this with the Roon and Bluesound ipad app which works really well. The nice thing about the NAS is not running a PC all the time as well as RAID backup. If you get one with enough grunt running Plex is awesome for managing and streaming video. Another added plus is if you buy a plex pass you can watch and listen to all your video and music (not DSD) anywhere in the world through your iphone, ipad or Roku plugged into a hotel TV.
When I want to stream multi channel recordings I do it via DNLA through the Oppo 203. The Oppo has a less than stellar interface for playing music meaning the browsing can be tedious. The Roon interface on iphone and ipad is really nice to use. Apparently you can get the Bluesound Node 2 to throughput multichannel FLAC and DSD but only when it isn't used as the DAC but I haven't tested that.
For my listening room I have a PS Audio Direct Stream DAC with network bridge for streaming and DAC for disk playing, but that is at a higher price point.
