Need recommendations for a streamer

I would like to upgrade from a Bluesound Node to a higher quality streamer.

 

The Node sounds fine with my current system, but I am making a second system for my wife, and the Node is going to that new system. I thought I would take the opportunity to upgrade my streamer at this time.

 

My criteria are that it be a streamer only (no DAC/storage/CD player, etc), be able to hook into wi-fi/cloud without a physical wire/connection, have balanced outputs to go to my DAC, and cost less than 2,500 USD. Can anybody think of a streamer that fits this bill?

 

The rest of my system:

DAC: Terminator II

Preamp: Schiit Freya+

Amps: PS Audio M1200 x 2

Speakers: Thiel CS 2.3

 

Thanks.

I’m using a Cambridge Audio CXNV2 

and it’s  great- it works - upgrading is easy-

I’m hard wired to the internet router

sometimes the signal is awesome 

most of the time the signal is awful!

this morning real early I was listening to a broadcast and the system never sounded so good! 
 

the moral- poor signal poor sound quality!

So if you are an internet listener  don’t spend a fortune

since  the quality of the source and the quality of the signal will 

be critical
