I am looking for a very basic audio streaming device. I know there are bluetooth streamers, Raspberry Pi based solutions, etc. What I need is a simple device where I can redirect the audio output of my Android smarphone, and has a pair of analog outputs. Essentially a wifi host + DAC, that I set and forget. Bluetooth quality is not good enough, I don't need any signal processing.
Thanks, it looks good. What about the (discontinued) Google Chromecast Audio in usability and quality?
Chromecast Audios are fetching a premium price on ebay now. Amazon's "Echo Link" looks interesting, but reviews are mixed, and it isn't currently available. The "AudioCast" resembles the CcA, but doesn't include S/PDIF out and the software may be terrible. But they are available.
Searching for Audiocast found this store that has various other wireless audio things:

Or how about a regular Chromecast connected to an HDMI splitter that has audio and S/PDIF outputs:

And finally, if wired is OK, connect a USB DAC directly to the phone with an OTG cable.
