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!

You don’t need WiFi.
A $30 extender works better than onboard.
You can build a RasPi chesp with USB out, put on a SPDIF hat, stream anything, yes Roon.
Learning required, all info available online. I went with  Allo like Darko.
It sounds better than my BluNode. I sent a SGC back.
