Look at WiiM - they have streamers starting from 13k till the flagship Ultra at 47k. I have the Ultra and its phenomenal value for money, great features, amazing sound quality, and solid app. Only thing is it doesn’t have Airplay, but I don’t use Apple Music so I’m fine with that. The other WiiM streamers have Airplay

Not sure what is your current DAC situation, but if you have a DAC and you like it -
I would personally vote for WiiM as well.

OR
If the budget is really tight - as you haven't specified - you can use any old phone as your streamer - just buy a PO100 for USB to Coax conversion. That should go to your DAC.

If you do not have a DAC however or have an inbuilt DAC in your pulz - you can ignore my comment.

As a transport, I would suggest Ifi Zen stream and as a streamer with dac, I would suggest Bluesound Node nano. They are around 30k in cost and will be better than wiim. Zen stream runs on volumio and can be glitchy. Please read about it before buying. If software experience is priority, I would suggest Wiim anyway.

Have you used any other streamer before WiiM ultra? Have you compared it with any. I am due to pull the trigger on a streamer and torn between WiiM ultra and Eversolo. I am aware of the price point.

No - I used streaming amps ( Denon x3700 and Pioneer LX-505 ). I haven’t had a dedicated streamer before. How much is the Eversolo ?

1.20 Lakhs

From what I’d read the major upgrades for the Eversolo at more than twice the cost are bells and whistles like balanced outs, the ability to rip music, etc. The WiiM sound has been reviewed to be excellent and I’ve been very happy with the performance as I don’t need AirPlay, balanced outs, or ripping. So I suppose it depends on your application and also if the rest of your chain supports balanced I/O

Hello, I think you may buy wiim pro. This is a good streamer with a good app support. I have been using it for some months and I am more than happy. However, I don't need airplay as I am not an Iphone user.

like balanced outs, the ability to rip music, etc.

The ability to rip music from where ? From the streaming source ?

What is your budget? Are you looking for a budget streamer? Then I will recommend the Arylic S50 Pro+. I have one and have been using it for 3 years without any issues. The build quality and aesthetic are super nice, and the shape is very compact. They can support up to 24 bits; sound quality is good, but they add little colouration to the music. If you can use a linear power supply, there will be much better resolution to the music. At the moment, pricing will be 10k-15k. I think at this price this will be a great unit.

If you want a very, very affordable option, then Arylic has basic streaming boards you can check on their website. They are not coming like a unit. You can DIY it if you want. It doesn't need skills; just basic YouTube videos can help you build a unit .

I second that. For a < 20K budget Arylic S50Pro+ is a very good bargain.
