What's a really great Streamer/DAC box for just streaming Tidal?


Exploring digital after a lifetime of vinyl only systems. Have been enjoying tidal through an xDSD and headphones and now I want to step up to something good for my home system, Herron amps and pre and Harbeth 30.1s. Any suggestions? I’d spend up to $1500 used for a single box solution. Needs to be WiFi because I can't hardware ethernet.

I began streaming Tidal on my computer 8 years ago and wifi’d to an Airport Express connected to my HiFi. Upgraded to a 300 $ streamer and a 300$ DAC. Found it so good that I bought Innuos Zen Mini, which was a significant upgrade in SQ. Moved on with RME Adi-2 DAC, which gave more clarity and better SQ. Then a new Ethernet cable, which much to my surprise was quite significant. 

I am quite impressed with my SQ, when listen to other solutions. Especially the details and the clarity of the music. 

I would any day recommend a good streamer, even though I still haven’t understood, how there can be a difference.
