Or just the Wiim into your Onkyo via RCA. The Wiim uses your wifi internet or ethernet so it doesn't lose anything. Using a good DAC might make a marginal difference.

The only thing I noticed about entry level Wiim is that I didn't notice a way to play your own music via USB or otherwise.
For around $150-400, setting up a raspberry Pi DAC and loading it with Volumio or Moode OS might be worth considering. You can play your own music via USB, you have some casting abilities with a few streaming platforms (ie: From your phone and select the DAC to cast to as you could for a smart speaker). I think both also have web interfaces that you can use from a computer for phone to swap between using streaming services and local music options.
Raspberry Pi DAC I looked into previously were Hifiberry, Allo, IQAudio. I had the Allo Boss with Volumio and I was very happy with it.
You'd want to research the DAC combo options as well as the OS interface options.
