Tutorial for using Bluetooth?
I believe you configure your speaker through the Google Home app, there you can access your speaker's settings including enabling Bluetooth and pairing devices.
Assuming your Pi is a Raspberry Pi 3, 3+ or 4 (which have onboard Bluetooth) and the Bluetooth adapter is enabled in Moode's System settings (is enabled by default), you can configure Bluetooth output on Moode by selecting BlueZ in the Moode menu, pairing instructions are there on the page.
By the way, I've had an Allo Boss DAC HAT in the past and it's a good DAC for the price, clean sound no jitter.
For an external USB DAC within your budget I can also give the Cyrus Soundkey a recommendation, full sound with 3mm out and is cheap nowadays. Can be used as a mobile DAC & headphone amp or just as a desktop USB DAC, I use one as a DAC for my desktop PC.
But seriously if all you're trying to achieve is to bypass the quiet 3mm jack on the Pi, just use Bluetooth. It'll be good enough for outputting to the Google speaker. Throwing hardware at it is wasting money IMO.
