I love Sonos, but not for HiFi. I have a couple of Sonos products in my home and I use them for in-ceiling speakers, outdoor, and other locations where music is just for background.
As for streaming Tidal to a DAC, I recommend doing that with a device that supports full res files, and doesn't limit you in any significant way. Depending on the capabilities of your DAC, you may be able to go directly in with an ethernet cable, which would be ideal, as that would indicate the DAC has an on board player, and just needs to be fed the fully digital packets. This is not the norm however.
I think the Bluesound Node option is a great one. Not particularly expensive, handles high res files. The connection is limited to Touslink and coaxial. I would go coaxial. From what I understand, Toslink is not great in the jitter department.
For a higher cost, AURALiC makes a streamer called Aries LE that rivals the blue sound, and it has proper HiFi grade digital outputs, such as USB and AES/EBU.
