What player to stream Amazon HD with?

Hello all,
My Oppo 105 can stream my Tidal account, but I recently downgraded that account from its top of the line to its mediocre quality tier as I picked up Amazon's lossless service - which sounds phenomenal.

Is there a $1K or so unit out there I can stream Amazon with?
Many thanks

I use my phone to send Amazon HD to Chromecast Audio via Wifi, then toslink cable from CCA to my DAC.  I agree with other made points; the app is unrefined, but the ultra HD music is wonderful.

Yes, I stand corrected. I was confusing my computer's Amazon streaming with CCA. 

To my ears, the HD that Amazon does stream to CCA (albeit not lossless) streams is MARKEDLY better than the 320kb/s stream that Spotify Premium does.

I also had true lossless from Tidal, and I could not tell a difference between Tidal to CCA and Amazon music to CCA.  That may be either a limitation in my pipeline or my ears or both :)

Hope that helps.

Kind regards
