JPLAY ? Qobuz iPhone
I prefer BubbleUPnP. I have both. Then you can play Qobuz direct using your phone as a remote control anywhere in wifi network range.

DAC stands for digital audio converter. Nothing about streaming. Go fish.  
Do I actually need a dedicated amp/DAC for my setup?
Do kids need an education? Total waste of funds for some   
Do I have to get a CD player to sample DSD on my digital rig?
No. And furthermore it is illegal to copy music from "a friend." Unless you get creative at breakin’ the law (no tips coming from here) you’ll have to buy some tracks for yourself.
