You get what you pay for… it all depends on how revealing a system you have.
Auralic makes a fabulous stand alone streamer but not in your price range. Is there a noticeable difference between a Wiim pro with an upgraded power supply ( about $550) and. an Ever-solo DMP A6 ($850) yes there is . Great sound comes from reducing jitter and having great clocks in a streamer and it cost $$$. If you choose to use “Roon” which cost a monthly subscription you will have more streaming options. Blusound X and Eversolo DMP A6 are probably your best choices for around $1000.
