Need DAC/Streaming Advice

I currently own a Bryston BDP-2 digital player that I run through a Bryston DAC.  As far as playing high resolution files via a thumb drive or other external drive, the BDP-2 sounds great.  The streaming part leaves a lot to be desired.  I can stream Tidal but it is extremely slow and the IPad controller is pretty lousy.  I can listen to Sonos through the DAC into my main system but obviously there is no hi-Rez via Sonos. I would like to find a better solution and am willing to start over (I can move the Bryston components to my secondary system).  What I would like to find is a higher end streamer for my main system that would allow me to stream Tidal, Spotify and Deezer if possible while also playing digital files via thumb drive etc. I have no idea if that can be done in a one box solution or if I would need a separate streamer and DAC.  I would very much appreciate any and all thoughts.  Thanks in advance.

Really not sure how or why certain members are having or have had issues with Bluesound?
I was happy owner of a vault 2 for 2 years with not one minute of downtime due to any issues.
For the price I still consider it to be one of the best bangs for the buck out there when you stop and consider all it can do.

Steam, Tidal, Deezer, Quboz in hirez format.
Rip your entire CD collection and catalog it all.
Read an external USB drive to play back music.
Read and access music stored on your nas on same network.
Stream from a Bluetooth device to it.
Control it all from your Android phone ( imho the Apple control is inferior to droid)

All for $1000?
Just buy it!
