And I guess is lossless audio really worth it (ie dropping spotify for tidal or similar)?
Probably not useful for you (no longer in production and at least a grand second hand) but I use a Cambridge Audio 851N as an all in one DAC, streamer and digital pre amp, my analog pre amp has only 3 inputs, phono, aux and tape, so I added the 851 mostly to add inputs but it not only streams but also has a USB input that I have an 8 terabyte drive plugged into it so I have around 44,000 songs in FLAC files I control with a phone app, I can put on an album or create a playlist as I choose without leaving the couch, it has been something of a game changer for my listening
