[WTD] Network player for my office room , nothing too fancy

[stony]

Network player to keep in my office room, nothing too fancy.
Basic requirements, it doesn't necessarily need to have HDD storage, HDMI, USB or Wifi (LAN would be just enough). Audio oputput , Tidal/Qobuz connection and Internet radio.

Anything much wrong with an old Squeezebox for that use case? Failing that a WiiM Mini or Chromecast Audio into an old music system or wireless speaker?

Get a wim.

+1 on the Wiim,
Mini = wifi in + OPT & 3.5mm out.
Pro = wifi+RJ45 + Optical in & Coax/Opt/RCA out.

+1 for the Wiim option. I'd say its particular strength in this scenario is the excellent App - very stable, easy to use and very comprehensive. The multiroom feature works well too - I occasionally have the mini in the Kitchen linked with the Pro in the lounge.

Thank you guys for all suggestions

I’ve just got a WiiM Pro Plus for my daughter and I gave it a test. Very good piece of kit for the money.

Tony should do a find and replace on wiim mentions and put Amazon links in. The amount of times they pop up in discussion it would be a nice little earner

I am very tempted by the Wiim amp at 300 quid, much like topping A.S.M.L et all, these prices wont stay like this for long there will be price creep before long.

Only problem is I have no need of one lol!

I have a boxed Chrome cast Audio with an optical cable included.

I have this in the dining room with a Chromecast Audio puck for streaming Qobuz. Really good sound for the money and looks pretty cool.
