Streamer only

I am not tech savvy and I have a DAC already in my integrated amp.I just wanted to try streaming. I would like to use Qobuz and need to purchase a streamer. I don’t need the dac included within the unit. I hate to pay a large amount for a unit that has a high quality DAC included. Are there any high quality streamers where I am not paying for the higher quality DAC included in the unit? My system is a Levinson 585 and Acendo C8 R speakers.

Innuos has a very nice platform roon not needed and sounds better 

They have for $1600 and a separate lps power supply 

If you want a matching case or buy the linear tube audio lps for $700

A greT setup for the buck.

Yes, you / he can do it for a very low sound quality solution. Given his equipment, definitely not a recommended solution.

Using a PC is NOT a low quality solution, especially if the DAC is of reasonably high quality. The signal from the PC to the DAC is digital. A separate streamer is completely unnecessary for signal quality.
