I do the same, and think it’s a great setup. I have a few around the house attached to older (nice) dumb speakers.

But really, the extra USB audio adapter is a must here. The internal Pi audio hardware, I found to be very noisy. The USB DACs I bought were also super cheap (<$10). You can scale this up in cost as much as you’d like.

Agree, the built-in DAC is so noisy it’s more or less unusable. A USB DAC is not too expensive and can be plugged into some random laptop, too.

I had set up ,rtmp server with ffplay as player ,with nobuffer flag ,works fine with video and audio cast

I do the same with a Pimoroni DAC SHIM (a little PCB you can slot between the Pi and another connected device)
