Streamers with best apps?


I tried this question on an Australian forum with no luck, so I'm hoping a more audio savvy community might do better. I currently have a Cambridge Audio CXN which as I discovered has 2 hopeless apps when you want to find classical albums saved on Tidal My Collection. So thinking of ditching the CXN and getting another streamer/server , preferably without a DAC as I will be running it through a Pure Audio Lotus DAC 5. Most reviews of streamers seem to focus entirely on sound quality but as I have discovered the apps used are of almost equal importance. I have considered an Elac Discovery DS-S101-G which is controlled by a Roon Essentials app. So first question. Does anyone know how the Essentials app lists classical albums in Tidal My Collection and does it have a search function for the albums saved? Second question what streamers can you recommend that at least are equal and preferably better than the Tidal app which does have a search function but very little logic as to how it lists classical albums. I have thought about the Bryston BDP Pi, Innous Zen mini or an Auralic streamer but know nothing about the usability of their respective apps. So anyone out there who can help.

Really good question, want to hear the answers. :)

Among those same lines, love to know who has good apps via Android. :)
I tested Aurender/Auralic/Lumin as a streamer recently at home (on iPhone/iPad )and must say Lumin has the easiest app to use , Aurender was OK but for Tidal I like Auralic( to me it’s very strange that via Tidal app, you don’t have any control over your streamer )If you go with Roon ready devices, IMHO Roon application is the best you could get right now.
Love this topic.
I only have experience with Bluesound Node 2i and "Bluos" going to my Chord Qutest via Coax.

Seems easy, elegant and intuitive to me.
Easy integration with Tidal and tons of content to choose from.

Just wish Apple Music could integrate.
