David ... that's where piCorePlayer really shines. You can use a 1/8" jack to RCA audio cable to get from the RPi to the Touch's RCA inputs. That gets you going (you're initial cost is I'd think less than a Win10 system with RPi & case). Later if you want you buy an add-on audio hardware card (like my HiFiBerry) for digital or optical outputs. It is certainly not required (that was the setup I used for my 2nd RPi in my bedroom using a set of computer speakers)
If you've a desktop already you may need an SD card adapter (to burn pCP to a microSD card that goes into the RPi) if one isn't supplied with the desktop computer. If you've a laptop it may have the SD card reader already. piCorePlayer rides atop the underlying OS so you don't need to futz with it. You'll have to create the NAS share that LMS will use, then configure it in the LMS settings in pCP. If you add additional audio hardware later you have to configure SqueezeLite for it, but pCP makes that easy with builtin config options for many such add-ons (I selected my HiFiBerry DAC from that dropdown in pCP, restarted, and it worked).
