For anyone else who wants to do this, just set up the absolutely amazing Volumio on your RPi or any other computer. https://volumio.org/ https://volumio.org/ The web app is great for use in your house, the Spotify plugin is first class - it's supported as a target in your Spotify app, or you can browse straight from the webapp, which means even a guest on your wifi can easily pop on and help pick the music.

I have been using spotifyd on my media box until now but seems like Volumio might have a bit more features. Will give it a try.

I wonder if there's something like this that supports Plex?

    I don't mean just a lightweight plex client, but a headless plex audio sink. Plex supports , "passing" your stream session over to another client on the local network now, I'm not sure what protocol it is exactly but my Tcl Roku tv is compatible with this and its quite handy to be able to queue some stuff up on the mobile app them send it over there to play rather than fumbling with the remote and the handicapped Roku app.

What kind of audio output does a raspberry pi support?

  Something like this goes on top https://elmwoodelectronics.ca/products/hifiberry-dac-rca?variant=31673062260788&currency=CAD&gclid=Cj0KCQjwqKuKBhCxARIsACf4XuHgUukLtJdTmVjCIXsuP6ArnkutRRjWvkLQG5CNzu2eYgr66S8924AaAr6sEALw_wcB https://elmwoodelectronics.ca/products/hifiberry-dac-rca?var... For powered speakers you can get a DAC or you can use unpowered / passive speaker if you get a amp hat

Volumio is great, but I am now using moOde audio player (http://moodeaudio.org/ http://moodeaudio.org/) which is similar, but has much better DSP, in the form of CamillaDSP (it actually works..), also I find the GUI more intuitive.

Another great alternative is HiFiBerry which produce their own DACs and cases that you can add a Raspberry Pi to. Personally I have a RPi4 with the DAC2 HD and a steel case which I’m very happy with. I think you can run Volumio on these too, but I prefer the simpler HiFiBerry OS distribution. You get AirPlay 2, Spotify and many more ways to play music. All connected to your analog hi-if equipment. https://www.hifiberry.com/ https://www.hifiberry.com/
