A couple of things to consider.
1. Get the Pi Zero WH unless you're particularly keen on soldering.
2. I had to do some fiddling around to get the volume right (it may or
  may not be an issue for you, mine was for a bedside radio and it was
  too loud on the default setting (different DAC)).
3. It works better if you point it directly at the folders with the
  music rather than serving it up via Plex or some other media server.
  As such, you need to make sure the music is tagged nicely.
Overall though it is very easy to set up.

Cheers.

I've never soldered proper electronics. Last time for my pihole I figured the extra £4 was worth it.

TBH I've got limited idea on how the whole streaming thing works, so just getting into the wormhole. But from a bit of reading that Allo hat sounds like it's actually alright and low cost at c.£50 all in. Everything else I looked at seemed to rapidly escalate in cost.

I had a look at my Volumio install yesterday and the Allo hat is a pre-installed option on there so it should be easy to set up.
