Streamers with I2S connectivity

So I recently purchased a Denafrips Terminator.  Thanks to a kind gentleman on this forum for parting with his!!!  The consensus with this DAC seems to be that the I2S input is the best and the one you want to use.  I use a Node 2 streamer today.  I connected it via Optical and Digital Coax.  The Coax sounds just slightly better to my ears.  But I want a streamer now that has I2S output.  I'm finding very little out there.  I see the Wyred For Sound Music Server and that's it.  But I think there has to be more that I just haven't found yet.

Anyone know of others they can suggest?

*To Note:  I do not want to use a converter such as the Matrix Audio X-SPDIF 2 if I can avoid it.  I don't want the extra cords and PSU's.....

Thanks to all for the responses so far, and to rdoc for selling me the Terminator. Loving it thus far. Blows away the dac in my Node 2, as expected.

I ordered a Wireworld Gold starlight 7 digital coax cable. That should help. I’m hoping the suggestions appear at Axpona this year for me to check out. I’m really wanting to avoid the Matrix converter if possible but may end up there in the end.....

2nd for Musical Pristina.  While I haven't heard it, it's been at the top of my radar.  They've built the whole streamer around i2s (HDMI).

I've got a Rockna Wavedream base model

I believe the Rockna Wavedream has I2S X2.
