What is your favorite budget streamer?

Looking for a bedroom streamer. I have a DAC and headphone amp and don't need to connect speakers or even need a DAC. Your ideas for a budget streamer at $350 or less? Experience is welcome here.

The WiiM Pro has a coaxial output rate of up to 192 kHz and 24-bit.It can even be controlled with voice commands by an Amazon Echo dot.

RPI 4 based with Ropiee pre-installed but you can flash other OS’es if so inclined.
