I've just grabbed a couple of Chromecast Audio. No screen, so you need
to control from the phone app / PC, but using the 3rd party chromecast
bridge plugin (after allowing it through your firewall), you can treat
them as squeezebox devices. Only problem is no gapless playback, so DJ
mixes and classical music have a slight gap between tracks.

However, I believe some people are using Raspberry Pi mini PCs instead
and have even found ways of adding screens to them, along with IR. Bit
more expensive though.
