Thanks, everyone. I'm learning that my attachment to Deezer HIFI is really a limiting factor. There appears to be a lot of compelling streamers out there, but they don't support Deezer HIFI (or they support Deezer, but not 16-bit FLAC).
Tidal doesn't appear to have as large of a selection of non-US artists. For example: European Jazz Trio - Deezer: 27 albums. Tidal: 4 albums.
I'm now leaning towards a Node2i with wired connection until Deezer opens up their API so that HIFI is available with Roon or integrated in more streamers. I'll then look at the higher end products.
NAD has deezer in their end streamer+dacs. Maybe they'll release a streamer only with Deezer Hifi. The only other option is the SimAudio Moon Mind2 ($1900). I called them to get some details on SQ, techniques, architecture, but the rep wasn't too helpful.
Anyways, thanks again. I'll report back on any products I try out.
