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)

What if I could stretch the budget to 1200 for a used streamer? Would Rose be a good brand? Or is there something better to look for in that range?

I checked out the Bluesound Node which looked promising... but I listen to both Pandora (no comments please) and Apple music. It does not support Apple and I do not have Apple equipment to make it work.

Wow, this is so painful. It looks like no one supports Apple music. All my playlists are on Apple. That’s what makes me stuck on Apple. Otherwise I’d go somewhere else.
