What's the best non-DAC streamer?

I've already got a great DAC (an Yggy) but have never auditioned any streamers.  The rest of my system is all Schiit Audio with the 400W monoblocks and Tekton speakers.  Have just been using an iPad as a streaming source for Tidal and Spotify.
What streamer under $3k would give me the most bang for the buck?

I would look into Aurender N100H, Auralic Aries G1 and Lumin U1 Mini. Personally, I have experienced N100H in my system and it’s a solid performer with outstanding iOS app.

^^^I would stay away from components with wall warts. A linear power supply is a must for digital components. If you plan on stacking ‘boxes’ and cables then you may consider SoTM.

@rbodner,

W20 is an outstanding streamer but I am afraid it’s out of OP’s budget :-)
Thank you for your feedback!
