In my future there is the purchase of a streaming device . Absolutely no idea where to start looking. Under a grand is essential . I may just go with whatever people on here recommend.

You really don't need to spend anything close to that. A Tomanek LPSU (£80), a Pi4 and case and Ropiee. USB to your DAC. Less than £200 all in. In terms of SQ, unbeatable for the money IMHO.

For under a grand you can partner a Sonore MicroRendu streamer with a Chord Mojo 2 DAC, which will take a lot of beating. The Mojo has a desktop mode which means it does not require recharging. It is also a quality portable headphone amplifier and has numerous filter settings. Both components are very small and tick the WAF box. The MicroRendu does require a 5v PS though.

Or if you want even more simplyfied version, put a dac hat into pi and then you can use rca connection to your amp.
