Chromecast Audio devices also interested me as a possible alternative
when my Classic or Touch finally expire. The "simplest" way I've found
to use them does require an Android phone or tablet, with the Google
Chromecast, Squeeze Player and Squeeze controller apps installed. Use
the main-menu option in the Chromecast app to cast audio to a CCA
device. Start the Squeeze Player app. Start the controller app. Make
sure you are controlling the Android device. Choose content from your
LMS and listen happily.

Casting a tab from the Chrome browser to a CCA device also works very
well, which made had me wondering about the possibility of running
squeezelite in a browser tab.

There is also an Android app called BubbleUPnP, which seems to be able
to connect any visible source to any renderer, including Squeeze players
and CCA devices.

BTW, the Squeeze Player app is wonderful, and worth far more than it's
modest price. I have been using this with the Squeeze Commander app for
a number of years now, on a succession of phones and tablets. Having
Android devices as part of my Squeezebox experience seems completely
normal.
