Quobuz Connection


Hello all,
Probably a pretty simple question however I’m just a little unclear.
I currently use the LG V30+ Cell phone as my DAC for my home audio system.
At the end of 2021 that phone will be obsolete and not supported according to T-Mobile.
For those unaware this phone was rated "Class A" in Audiophile recommended components.
My question is what do I need to replace this in my System?
It will need to not only be a DAC, but also be able to run/connect to Quobuz.
(via some form of internet connection?)
I’m not sure if this is a 2 unit solution or if one unit accomplishes this.
I have heard of people using a laptop... Not really what I would consider an option, not only because of the laptop being so NOT audio related and unsightly, but because I want a piece of equipment that is part of my permanent Audio set up. (A laptop seems embarrassing for that purpose😣).
Ohhh... BTW ....price under $2000.00.

Thanks in advance,
Dewmonster

I think a Bluesound Node 2i streamer and a Gustard X26 Pro DAC will have you not missing your phone one little bit.  Best of luck.
