Tablets & PC's

Currenly I have a very old setup. Crown DC 150A series II, Crown SL-1 preamp running from a $15 Chrome audio bluetooth device for streaming Deezer.  I am saving for a Shiit freya, Vidar and a good dac withing my small budget like a cambridge DAC magic? Or similar.  I am new to digital.  I love the sound I currently have but the old switches need replacing, I am wanting a remote contol to sit on the couch in my older years to enjoy music. I found not all bluetooth sources are equal. I got a "free" tablet as part of a deal from T mobile. The audio had no bass and the digital controls made to control EQ were worthless. I took it back in huge disappointment.  So I am guessing the DAC and software on cheap devices will not meet my picky standards. (Please no chuckles over my 45 year old stuff) Best buy has little to impress me at Magnolia. I need guidance on if a Samsung 10" tablet would have good sound and EQ for my not perfect room. The samsung S 8 sounds awesome...really.  . I would really like to stay away from Windows 10. I fix problems for a career every day with it and would rather do android, chrome, or MAC which is expensive for my budget but could be done. I had an Apple 6S plus which was decent to bluetooth but the samsung knocks it out of the ball park.  Can I please get some feedback on laptops,  Tablets people have used that do a good job. ( Yes even Windows, though I would rather not)  My goal would to eventually be going to the higher end streaming to lossless with Deezer, Tidal or what the audiophile experts could reccommend.  I want to sit on the couch with my laptop or tablet to control a better DAC down the road.  Thank you so much for taking the time to help me along in the digital realm.
