So I guess I am saying running $5 Plex mobile app on a good quality tablet or mobile phone is an option.
I also run Plex at home on amazonFire tv box with toslink out to DAC in my a/v second system (see my system pics) and this sounds pretty much as good as the Logitech Squeezebox to same dac and system. The two are interchangeable in terms of sound quality for teh most part I would say though features for users, GUIs, are not the same but share a lot of teh core functionality that most people would need in order to stream higher res music/audio plus video to boot.
