Need music streamer with wifi and no DAC

Trying to figure out the best way to set up a steaming system with Roon. Have a few issues that are complicating matters. Integrated amp with a nice built in dac but no streaming or network ability. Also there is really no way to get an Ethernet cable to it if were to plug in a streamer. I would like to find a pretty nice streamer with wifi. Also need to install a Roon core somewhere in this chain. I’ve been using some  Sonos products for years, but I’m a real newbie with the setup I’m looking to put in. A one box solution would be nice, but I don’t want to use a standard computer to house the whole thing. I plan to look into SGC but other suggestions are certainly welcome!

Bluesound Node can act as a Roon endpoint. You can use it purely as a streamer by bypassing it’s internal amp. The only downside is no USB output.

+1 for SGC Roon core servers. I have one that has been rock solid for over a year and works beautifully with Node 2i n my home office system.
