My Audio usage scenario is 5GHz WiFi and NAS and so the 3A+ is the ideal board for that. The 3B/4B boards with their Ethernet circuits etc would end up being unused in my environment.
YMMV :-)
I know all Pis are cheap, but the 3A+ is even moreso than the 3B/4B boards.
The way you specified "for audio" made me wonder if there was more to it than simply not paying for features you don't need - I'm no expert on the Pi lineup so its not beyond my imagination to think it would be possible that one Pi might have some unique design advantage over another... but if they're all equally capable of producing good audio with the right DAC attached that's good to know.
