All in One Solution for Streaming

Looking for a all in one solution (streamer + dac + amplification) to hookup to an old abandoned pr. of original Sonus Faber Electa Amator for listening at the dining room table.

Priorities besides sound quality are price/performance and practicality.

Since amplification will surely be class D I see there are different module options, some better valued then others, so I would want the better considered options.

Since this is intended primarily for background music and entertaining  during dining wish to keep budget if possible at around 3k but am open to advice.

Thanks in advance to all.

Does Bluesound make an all in one?  And do you need storage for recorded CDs, or will it be playing music from a service such as Spotify?

I just checked and the Bluesound PowerNode goes for $950.  Assuming they are using the same DAC as the latest iteration of the Node, I can at least vouch for the DAc, but I can’t comment on the amp.  You ought to be able to audition one in your system.

The HiFiRose RS520 linked above sounds great. The interface is not fantastic but it's fine. That or a Naim would be my choices.

Another vote for the Hifi Rose RS520. Check the reviews. You should be able to try one out with little risk to you, allow for a few days break in.
I’ve got their 150b and really like it, very impressed with SQ.

NAD makes a number of these all in one units that support the Bluesound system. Here is a decent used one:
