Streamer / network transport with hdmi in

Hi everyone,

I’m hoping you can help. As it stands, I have a Luxman 509z and Node icon n530. 
 

I’m looking to move to either a Chord Qutest or PS Audio Direct Stream mk2 DAC, however I’m looking for a new network transport to match. Something that matches the system with HDMI arc/earc in (not out). I’m not a fan of Eversolo - I find the app and interface pretty but clunky in daily use. Should I just keep the Node as streamer only or is there a better option? the Luxman N07 looks amazing but $$$$$$

Any ideas or suggestions welcome!

TIA

Bryston formerly made these, but I have been told that they dropped HDMI.  Also their software interface was awful

Why would you need an HDMI input on the network transport if you’re using an outboard DAC? Just buy a DAC with HDMI inputs. Bryston’s DAC-3, for example.

Actually, the correct Bryston model number is BDA-3. My mistake. Details here.
