Good streamer that does not need wi-fi or internet to play local files

I can use bluetooth to stream music to my Auralic Aries G1 when the internet is out, I stream from Qobuz as my local files are on a NAS. Not exactly what you’re looking for but it is useful to me in a wifi outage.

I know that with apple, for example with AirPods, the Bluetooth connection is of slower bandwidth than corded headphones, or possible with WiFi. I recognize that the latest Bluetooth standards are capable of transmitting high resolution audio.  Is your desire for the eliminatation of WiFi more important than your interest in high quality sound and what is your budget? You haven’t posted your virtual system, so we haven’t any idea what your budget might be.

Let me reiterate I am NOT planning to use BT to play the local files but to "control" the music playing. The music playing is thru the USB connection which support hi-rez files to which I was referring.

I have two humble systems including Wharfedale Linton / Burchard S400 II, Parasound A23 / NC 2125 v2, Ifi Zen Stream, Topping E70 Velvet / Smsl Do200. My budget for the streamer is up to $1k or slightly over.

Although not what I am looking for but it is good to know Auralic Aries G1 could stream music using BT when the internet is out.  Thanks, @jond.  It will be a viable option if the G1 is equipped with latest BT standard as mentioned by @vonhelmholtz
