I ended up just going with what I had.
I had a drawer of old stuff, I was bored, and thought why not. It's not fancy, but it works exactly for what I need it to.
Had an OLD Millet RH PCB gathering much dust. Old red Cerafines, Muse FG, Kiwame, and Dale all around. Diamond buffer instead of opamps. Running 12FK6's. 30V wart to a LM317 regulator for the amp and a buck regulator to a ATXRaspi power controller for the raspberry pi Zero-W. Pi on/off button on the front and a main power switch on the back. Can stream via wi-fi and bluetooth, and I added a USB jack to pull flac files from a 256GB USB stick too. Using Moode Audio for the player. The Pi Zero gives some wi-fi and bluetooth noise when you're not playing a song still, but when the song starts it goes away. I just hit random play and let it do it's thing all day through a pair of modified Koss KSC35's. Just using it in my office to drown out background noise and not annoy the boss.
