Best way to send digital to DAC


With a DAC I have no interface or file management.  What is the best sounding way to send and control music into the USB Class 2 for High Res without using a computer direct?

Can I use a Synology with great sound or is there something I can control files with but the files are on the device hard wired to the DAC?

It's an Aesthetix DAC

I have a Synology NAS and for years and years used Logitech Media Server (beta) to stream music to Raspberry PI DACs, SqueezeBox DACs, and AirPlay wireless speakers.  Using LMS plugins you can stream Tidal, Qobuz, Sirus, Pandora, AirPlay, etc, and play DSD, FLAC. iTunes, MP3, and other files. 

I now use Roon instead of LMS.  If you care about MQA, the Node2 is probably a good choice.  I use a Mytek Liberty DAC and an Innous Zenith MK2 for streaming/rendering everything.  Before Roon, I tried the BluOS app but found it too limiting because, unlike Roon or LMS, you can't consolidate all music sources into one interface.
I'm looking at the Aurender N100H because I heard the USB output is noticeably cleaner and more airy and the interface is good without having to pay extra for interface software like Roon.  Does that sound like I'm headed the best way?
Auralic Aries or Aries Mini comes with pretty good iOS software interface and will connect to hard drives directly. You will need an iPhone.
