getting into streaming

Get Roon and you’ll never look back. Consider investing in a Small Green Computer which functions as a dedicated Roon server. Consider an Optical Rendu which will eliminate all noise from your most imports to “last stop”, converting copper Ethernet to fiberglass Ethernet where noise cannot travel. 

so I may have found what i'm looking for from cocktail audio.  Some of their units come with hdmi outputs, so you can bring it up on your tv, which should negate the need for a tablet/ipad.

So are there any other manufacturers that have hdmi output on their server/streamers? 

Wiim mini? Tried that but returned it. Bass is on the light side, as Stereophile also pointed out.  User interface is pretty damn good though for such as little device.
