What I’m looking for in a streaming transport

I want to move past my laptop for streaming. These are the things I’m looking for- does such a product exist?

1- One box turnkey product- I’m not building it 
2- Reasonable UI
3- no internal DAC
4- native Tidal & Qobuz
5- linear power supply 
6- USB out; spdif and BNC outs would be nice but not essential 
7- USB input for thumb drive
8- first rate sound
9- $1,500 or so upper end 

so far, I don’t think there is anything on the market that meets all points on my wish list. Closest I see is Innuos Zen Mini Mk 3 with LPS 

if I’m wrong please tell me

It will probably cost more than $1500 - but the Lumin U1 Mini would meet your requirements. 

There is an inexpensive and simple conversion kit available to change out the IEC so you can use an external LPS with it.  Upscale Audio sells one.
