Quality streaming for newbie

I use Bluesound, not very expensive for streaming and has a built in DAC that can be bypassed with a DAC of your choice.
I use Bluesound Node with an Ayre Codex DAC. Not a crazy amount of money(at least buying used). Great sound quality that I don't think will disappoint you, especially if you are using Apple Music.
DAC's to consider:
Ayre Codex, Schiit Gungnir/Yggy, Mytek Brooklyn.

You are going to get lots of responses, so brace yourself..

I ended up with LUMIN based on the the quality of both hardware and software, and the sound character. But they're not on the inexpensive side of the spectrum.

Nekoaudio Lumin makes inexpensive units like the D2 which is a $2,300 dac and streamer and it is excelllent. 

We are awaiting the Brooklyn Bridge at $3k which may be really good. 

The Lumin products are superb the sound quality and the app are top rate and they are always adding new features. 

We are a dealer for both Mytek and Lumin and a lot of other digital front ends.

I think the OP has to tell us his budget before this thread is meaningful.

Great point n80!
I’d like to stay under 2k but $2500 max.
