Streamer question

Please pardon my ignorance, but I've researched and I'm not finding what I'm looking for.

I currently house my music library in this configuration: NAS > PC > USB > DAC > RCA > Integrated amp. I use Roon as my primary and the Roon core is on an SSD plugged into the NAS. I run Tidal via Roon.

I'm looking for a streaming device to eliminate the USB cable, but that allows me to stream from my personal library (using Roon) as well as Tidal (while not using Roon).

Roon is flaky for me and sometimes I find it's not worth the hassle of dealing with, so I'd like to option to simplify things and stream directly from Tidal.

Everything I see is for streaming from a service (Roon/Quboz), but I'm not finding much on streaming my own personal library as well.

Hope this makes sense. Any help appreciated!

I use Cambridge Audio CXN 100. Mainly I listen to my own ripped CDs from my NAS. I also use the AirPlay and Chromecast functions to stream from my streaming services (Apple Music and Pristine Classical) but the CA will handle both Tidal and Qobuz directly. The CA also does Internet Radio and Podcasts quite well.

My Melco NAS is also a renderer and accepts Tidal and Qobuz. It lacks the other features of the CA and the OP already has a NAS.

  I don’t use Roon
