are active speakers plus chromecast an option for the kitchen?

Several ways to go about this, Darko.audio is a great resource for all things audiophile streaming.
You could get an integrated amp with 2 pairs of speaker outs, plus a DAC, something like the Schiit Modi 2 (or an integrated amp with built in DAC) then connect your Alexa to the DAC. If you don’t want to use the Alexa directly as the streaming transport then something like the Audiolab 6000 supports Amazon and has DAC built in. Not sure if it has Alexa voice control. Denon Heos does, I think Cambridge Audio might do one too.

Some advice needed please: I'm upgrading my home hifi. I want wired speakers in two separate rooms. A single amp, with enough power to drive two sets of speakers , I already have a pair of Dynaudio audience 52 for the lounge, but need some small wall mounted speakers for the kitchen. A streaming device with Bluetooth, Alexa integration, that can be connected to NAS. Not keen on Sonos for the streaming . Probably looking at mid range prices ... Any suggestions please?
