Hi lucc31,

The PCP ecosystem does support what you need, but in a different way.
If you have trouble to get the the phat beat connected on the same pi as
your screen does reside the network can help.
BTW I use it an almost same setup here.

Use the zero with an external ethernet ( wired , or wifi ) some decent
power adapter as it powers the tiny amp, and run it headless.
Use the pi 3 with screen and jivelite , and choose the squeezelite on
the pi-zero.
Now you can control the player as if it was inside the main box.
The wifi network link does allow me to place the player/amp across the
room without the lineout or speaker wires running from my main
player/LMS instance.

A word on the wifi usage: We all warn here for less than optimal results
with wifi. If you know that you are doing and avoid the known issues,
you can use it  with a lot of satisfaction, but start with wired
networks to avoid issues and certainly keep your LMS server on a wired
node.
