Yes - a Raspberry Pi running Ropieee. Less than £80 and serves up excellent USB out if you get the latest version 4. Running it with a Khadas Tone Board with Roon and the combination is brilliant. (Remember that inside some £x,000 streamers you will find it’s an R-Pi doing the work). My son has far better, and younger, ears than I do and he assured me that an A/B test vs a Node 2! is an easy win for R-Pi plus Khadas. I had to talk my ears into hearing a difference, and they obeyed in the end - but that could be my optimism bias from having saved £300.
