Qobuz.
Supposedly I was accepted, but app didn’t work, kept sending me back to the application page.  I’m having a bad IT month.  I’ll wait until it’s really launched to try again.  Right now just enjoying being able to listen to Bluesound after it was M... 
What am I missing streaming music with a Node 2i
In my experience pretty much and DAC will enhance the Node.  What your budget? 
Problems with Bluesound Vault and PC app finding Node2 that are wireless
SpatialDid you do the update from usb drives, Ethernet, or WiFi?That’s really discouraging. 
Why do I need Roon?
Nobody “needs” Roon.  It’s a bell and whistle that you may or may not find really fun.  I listen to Classical Music and I didn’t find that it did much to enhance my enjoyment, but many people like the type of links that it provides between musicia... 
Problems with Bluesound Vault and PC app finding Node2 that are wireless
everything seems to be working.  Keeping the fingers crossed.the tech said they have had a big increase in sales around the holiday and thus they are swamped...makes me wonder if the 2i is having some bugs... 
Problems with Bluesound Vault and PC app finding Node2 that are wireless
Just finished a 90 minute service call.  Everything for now.  Several interesting findings.1) Players wouldn’t do factory resets because the latest update was “stuck” within them.  All 3 players had to be force fed the firmware by the tech (Aitei)...

I finally called the district sales manager.  My dealer—now out of business—had given me his number when I first bought it and had issues 3 years ago.  I forwarded my emails with Product Support, which stopped abruptly 10 days ago when they didn’t... 
MQA is Legit!
I am not sure that I understand the original point here.  Is the OP saying that MQA files tend to sound better because they have been carefully remastered, and not necessarily due to any technological improvement?  If that is the case, I don’t kno... 
Does a cheap cd transport create poor digital copies?
That argument goes both ways.  I used to think that CDRs sounded better than the originals, and that CDs from aHD bested the originals, but with the improvement in DAC technology over the past few years I’ve swung the other way.  I’ve seen reports...

Rereading your post, I see that you want to stream Apple Music to your existing system.  I use a Bluetooth DAC from Audioengine when I stream from my phone. 
IDAGIO the best sounding streaming service
Hmm, I did a free month of IDAGIO and I was distinctly unimpressed m feeling that it was much inferior to the departed Classics On Line.  Also, it’s catalog is very thin 
Opinions on Dacs...
I have the PSAUDIO Digital Link 3.  I wouldn’t describe it as bright.  Be aware that it’s usb input is not asynchronous (or at list mine isn’t, perhaps they updated it if they still sell it)
