After many streaming attempts I've settled on Tidal Connect using my iPad directly to Lyngdorf MP60 2.1. I also turn on the entire system with "hey Google turn on Family Room". This works using four smart duplex receptacles. If I want all 7 Magnepan speakers and four subs going at once I choose "Party mode" on the MP60 2.1. I gave up on Adirvana and Wiim.

I have 7 WiiM units linked together to create a whole whole house and outdoor sound system. I have Tidal, Prime and Spotify accounts and have a large hard drive of music that I run a Plex server on. The WiiM units (mainly Prop Plus) are affordable and have a easy to use app to control music by room, by group or individually. They are powered by Buckeye amps into KEF speakers.

I was a Spotify sub for a bunch of years until others started doing lossless for the same money.
I tried just about all the alternatives but to be honest I wasn't hearing any big differences and the Spotify
GUI had the others beat hands down. So I stayed with them.

UNTIL, Apple started streaming 5.1, and Atmos files for the same or less money, For me that was a no-brainer.
Still I admit the Spotify GUI leads the pack but without lossless 2ch & multich they might as well be streaming
Morse Code for all I care. LOL

I don’t have a device solely dedicated to streaming music. I added an Apple TV 4K as a source for my av receiver and just stream Apple Music content and it works for now. It seems like there are more and more remastered tracks coming out to.
