What player to stream Amazon HD with?

Hello all,
My Oppo 105 can stream my Tidal account, but I recently downgraded that account from its top of the line to its mediocre quality tier as I picked up Amazon's lossless service - which sounds phenomenal.

Is there a $1K or so unit out there I can stream Amazon with?
Many thanks

1) I hope I win PowerBall without wasting money on a ticket.
2) I hope there is no line at the dispensary.

I stream Tidal with Bluetooth 5.0 from my Galaxy tablet to the audioengine b1 with excellent results.  I think it approaches or equals my consumer high end SACD which is saying somethng!

There is a list of the companies with compatible software on Amazon's website. They haven't released an API to anyone other than those companies.

I use my phone to send Amazon HD to Chromecast Audio via Wifi, then toslink cable from CCA to my DAC.  I agree with other made points; the app is unrefined, but the ultra HD music is wonderful.

Iluvsansui,

Thanks for posting this. I truly wish and hope that this is actually possible but all comments from Amazon indicate that HD Music cannot be cast to a CCA but only the standard level Amazon Music signal. I use the 3.5mm to toslink with CCA to a DAC as well. Have you discovered a true wormhole? How certain are you that the digital signal getting to your DAC this way is Amazon HD lossless rather than standard? Thanks.
