What are people using to upgrade from Channel D Pure Music to play from iTunes

I have been using Channel D Pure Music to stream my Redbook CDs from my Mac. I use Pure Music from Channel D and have been loving it, but it doesn't support 32-bit architecture and I need to find a replacement. Any suggestions? Has everyone moved to Tidal or Qobuz? I find that streaming a lossless Redbook CD through Pure Music sounds better than any streaming service. Love to hear some ideas.

Buy used.  Here’s an Innuos Zenith you can get for less than the price of a new Zen, but others are available too you can find on hifishark.

Your Mac is fine. Don’t replace good machine with some low power ARM streamer. My Windows box streams just fine, Aurender is not any better so I end up not using it. And beside, why would I want to control some unit from phone when I have 34" screen with Tidal?

Tidal with max quality is better than CD. However, they only stream new, remastered editions. So you may be disappointed if you prefer older mastering. Ex Tony Iommy screwed up old Sabbath mixes pretty good.
