Well you could use a Mac Mini or PC with a s/w player of your choice and use either the internal drive or attach whatever external storage you like. This is a cheap and very flexible option and can sound very good - well, mine does
If you want a streamer with integrated or USB hard drive then you could check out the NAD M50 or Aurender X100. Amabrok on this forum uses the Aurender and speaks very highly of it.
The NAD has better integration with music services like Spotify and Qobuz - not sure if TIDAL is integrated yet
Wwm on this forum sold his NDS/555/552/300 and bought a Devialet 800 - he uses a Naim HDX as the source which is another option as is a Unitiserve though you won't get integration with music streaming services.
