Solo streamer

I really like my Innuos Zen Mk3.  It has a CD ripping feature and built in memory. I find them useful. 

I guess there’s no simple unit that is only a streamer without bells and whistles that I don’t want or need.

PS Audio Airlens! Sounds terrific with a Direct stream DAC.

Why not use the Cambridge with a stand alone DAC?   If you like the Cambridge user interface and are looking to improve sound quality , that's where I would start.
