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

Sounds fair enough; I'll try that, though since my Macbook pro doesn't have a USB port, I'd have to use an adapter to connect to the Oppo and I'm afraid that might interfere with sound.

So I might have found an easy fix,  in part inspired by your replies. I simply ordered a USB C- HDMI adapter and ran an HDMI to the oppo and now can access Amazon hd from my Galaxy 9+, which I got in part because it had a rep for great internal sound.

And so that worked. yes, there's an unsightly HDMI cable stretching to my listening seat, but the Amazon Ultra/HD sound trumps Tidal's basic sound by spades.

Would a USB be a better sound than HDMI?

Checked out the Cocktail line and read up on some of the reviews. But question: What if I have no interest in ripping my cd's?

Ooo! It looks quite nice, especially that wood base.
