Stream to DAC - WXC50 /Node 2i /Project StreamBox

Hi there
I am looking for a streamer with great functionality, to stream Tidal into my DAC (dont needMQA).
I don't need it to be able to connect to a NAS drive, and I don't need to have a built-in DAC. And I don't want to pay for all that functionality.

what would be the most cost-effective way to do this without sacrificing sound quality compared to say a $3000 streamer/DAC all in one. I do want it to have an app that's easy to use

I am considering the Yamaha WXC50, alternatively the BlueSound node 2i or the Project Ultra Stream Box 2.
Connecting my laptop is not an option.

thanks for your help

What’s an LPS?
out of interest will a dedicated music server sound better than a NAS drive, or is there a lot of debate on this?
and would you have the streamer and server in one box, and the DAC/preamp in another?...
