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

Cool. Maybe Amazon is streaming CD quality to CC then.

Since my home theater is also my best music system, I can stream it through my Sony TV or through my Roku into my Marantz Pre-amp. Sound is fantastic. I wish they would release an app to my Astell&Kern player like Tidal did for mobile listening but so far, no joy.

I am using a Node 2i with an MHDT Labs Orchid and it sounds great.  I do echo the above comment about the interface not being the best, but it is functional.

So I might have found an easy fix,  in part inspired by your replies. I simply ordered a USB C- HDMI adapter and ran an HDMI to the oppo and now can access Amazon hd from my Galaxy 9+, which I got in part because it had a rep for great internal sound.

And so that worked. yes, there's an unsightly HDMI cable stretching to my listening seat, but the Amazon Ultra/HD sound trumps Tidal's basic sound by spades.

Would a USB be a better sound than HDMI?
