Streamer

Have a small collection of less than 100 cds. That I would like to rip them onto my PC, using iTunes, and then wirelessly stream playlists to a device (e.g., Bluesound Note 2) that will connect through my passive Schiit preamp to a Crown 5002 amp driving Magnepan Tympani IVs. 

What devices other than than the Note 2 offer wireless streaming off my PC?  Also, if I use software other than iTunes, which software offers a way to populate my Apple devices, include iPhone SE, iPod and iPad Pro?

Thanks for the feedback. I don't download on iTunes and will happily use dbPoweramp for ripping. Is JRiver still the preferred management software, or will dbPoweramp do that too? I only need the Apple format for putting music onto my iPhone and iPod for connection to the radio in my truck.

I was looking at an Olive 4Hd as an alternative to using my PC, but their support appears to be abysmal.

HDTracks looks interesting but used CDs at $2 on average seem a better bargain, even with the lesser sound quality.

Will research the Aries mini.
