In your budget, look into iFi Zen Streamer + LPS or a BlueSound Node 2 (bypass it’s internal DAC). The Node app is pretty robust and gives you easy access to many cloud based streaming platforms. One of the important part of streaming experience is how well the apps are integrated. In your price range BlueSound OS is one of the best. Many retailers on Node 2 offers 30 days money back guarantee.
Network Bridge/Streamer only for Qobuz

Trying to talk myself out of a all in one like the Lumin D2 or Atoll MS120.
