Have been using a Pi to stream music for a few years now, ever since my Cambridge Audio NP30 died after a software update - which seems quite topical :-)
Since the Cambridge Audio hardware was quite old, and field support from CA was ... limited ... I pressed a Pi 3B into service with an IQ Audio DAC and tried various bits of software before settling on moOde. I upgraded the Pi 3 to a Pi4, added a dinky touch screen and rotary controller and haven't looked back.
Since I still have the Pi 3, at some point I'll be looking at multi-room support but I don't have a spare Pi to use as the sender, not a 64 bit one anyway :-)
Plenty of Unix experience, but almost exclusively as an end user these days - and I'll give away my age if I say I remember SunOS turning into Solaris or that I used to have an RS/6000 Model 43p as a desktop machine!
