hardware

If you're after hardware that you connect to your old Hi-Fi and cast/play to using Hi-Fi Cast then I can recommend one of the WiiM products.

I have a Pro and have been using it for most of this year. There were initially some problems with its interaction with MinimServer but we got those ironed out earlier this year and it's been pretty faultless since.

It does have its own app, but the UPnP implementation is bare bones so you're better of using it just for the hardware setup (adding to your network) and using Hi-Fi Cast day to day.

The mini and Pro were built with digital in mind, so whilst it does have a DAC it's not a particularly strong one, but there is supposed to be a Pro+ coming out in the next few weeks that improves on the analog performance.
