Need to get off of bluetooth.... looking for a wifi streamer for my budget


My current system is a McIntosh C12000 preamp and a 861 Moon amp. 

I have a Eversolo Z8. I want to get off of blue tooth (streaming from my phone) and get onto wifi. So I need a streamer. 

I know this sounds crazy... but I stretched my budget and it will take about a year for me to recover. So, what would like to do is buy a streamer (used hopefully) to tie me over temp. 

Can anyone recommend a wifi streamer brand/model for my setup that I might find used for *around* $500? I would consider a streamer/dac combo if the dac was better than the one in the Eversolo Z8 because that one is pretty good spec wise (it has the ESS Pro)

I did a little searching and it looks like there is a way to import your Apple playlists into Qobuz:

a one month subscription to Soundiiz

I would get a streaming device without a built in DAC and use the DAC in your McIntosh.  Then down the road you start trying other DACs.  I've used the devices from Small Green Computer (Sonore) but they are not cheap.  https://www.sonore.us/ultraRendu.html  ($899 without power supply)
