I'm looking for an alternative to the Pi, as they not available at the moment.
Are there any simple audio DLNA devices that will work with MC ?
For example :- ACEMAX M5 Audiocast WiFi Wireless Music Adapter DLNA Airplay Spotify DEEZER Supporting Stream Audio to Speaker Systems Over Wi-Fi Network from Mobile Devices NAS Windows Multi Room Supported

Time has passed and there is plenty of stock all over (assuming you are in the US).
All matrix audio devices are impeccably built, measure at the top of their category and work with MC ... flawlessly

Many thanks I,ll call the office tomorrow.

I've been considering getting an Orange Pi 5 and installing Ubuntu + MC30 on it and see how well it works, assuming it'd even install.

I've had mixed results with OrangePi SBCs. I would assume that due to the Pi shortage in the last couple years, people invested more time into the platform.

Look at Armbian as a starting point

The builds that OrangePi distributes have sucked in my experience (the last one I used a decent amount was an H6 chip so probably an OrangePi3?), Armbian was a better experience.

Wiim mini or pro?

I have had MC (audio only) on Armbian running on an Orange Pi 5 without issue. I typically use MC converting all audio output to DSD, Orange PI 5 could not manage x4, but x2 OK.   I also have a recently bought AMD Ryzen 7 (7735HS) mini PC, and that manages DSD x8 with ease so I use that mainly now, but the orange Pi 5 was a very capable backup server in my experience.

They're good if you're doing audio only!


That little Ryzen Mini PC is great, I played around with the same chip in one a couple month back.
