Streamers rabbit hole

boy. there are so many streamers out there all claiming to be better than the other. My head is spinning.

I have an Anthem STR integrated amp, SVS SB300 sub, and Sonetto II G2s. Looking for a good streamer pairing for this system.

Comments please....

I think Jimmy2615's comments are right on. I want a stremer/Dac unit to pair with the STR amp i have. Looking for a unit with XLR connections, easy to sue front display, and good quality sound. I will not be connecting by WIFI. Per my research HIFI Rose 151 seems to have all the hardware i need but now sure if the sound quality is there.

All of these have their internal DAC. Don't want to have a separate DAC. I have a $5K budget. I don't need much storage since normally I just listen to what is playing in in Quboz or Tidal.
