All of those things. Budget isn't massive, nor is the room. Ultimately I'm not an audio connoisseur, but if one option is better than the other I'd opt for that.
Volumio on raspi has cost me the same £30 as a Chromecast, but can also play from a hard drive or internet radio, and integrates natively into my smart home hub interface.
With raspi i can get a DAC hat and run it directly to active speakers, or a DAC+amp hat and run it to passive speakers, I'm just curious to hear why one would opt for active vs passive speakers?
