Quality streaming for newbie


Old timer here. I’ve been semi stalking pages trying to gain insight. I’m looking for a streaming setup with CD quality playback. I understand compression 100% as I subscribe to Apple Music. I’m interested in the bare essentials,equipment wise,to achieve a better signal. From what I’ve gathered a quality DAC is where the bulk of my budget should be spent on. Any & all suggestions/advice are truly appreciated.

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.
