The Eversolo App is easy to use and reliable in my experience. I have a Will Pro in my bedroom system. I use Tidal connect with the WiiM because I like the Tidal app UI better, I use the Eversolo app with my A8.
I used an RPI running PiCore Player before the Eversolo. I listen more because the Eversolo app is such a pleasure to use.
My experience - YMMV.
