Best streamer given my constraints

Looking to shift streaming source off my PC to improve sound. Presently running Mac C50 preamp to Mac 275 amp and B&W Prestige Monitors in my office. Presently running Spotify but ready to up the ante to Tidal/Qobuz, even possibly Roon.

* This site does not have ethernet access so streamer must be WiFi
* No need for hard drive or ripping

So far my research is pointing to Auralic Aries G1 but that's a few years old at this point. Is there a newer/better option?

Thanks very much in advance for any/all input!

That is a pretty nice system you have there... I would think it deserves something better than a blue sound 2i...
Have a look at the Lumin product line streamers and streamer/DAC combos...
Something like a U1 mini with an external DAC like a Chord or Benchmark might be pretty sweet...
You can use something like the Netgear Universal N600 Dual Band Wi-Fi To Ethernet Adapter if you only have Wi-Fi...  These kind of WiFi to Ethernet adapters are pretty common and are inexpensive...
