I turned gapless off because it was stopping at the end of each song via UPnP, but that was several firmware updates ago. Sounds like WiiM has fixed it now. piTouch™ w/JustBoom DigiHat -> RME ADI-2 DAC FS -> JBL 305P MkII monitors; LMS 8.2 on piCorePlayer/Pi 4; Material Skin.

OK, just tested the Airplay bridge->WiiM Mini. Works OK, except no album art displayed. Album art displays fine with UPnP, and of course, UPnP will work up to the 24/192 limit of the WiiM. I think the only thing I had to configure for UPnP with the WiiM was to turn gapless off, as it would

It will run in the Linux container. Unfortunately, the IP addresses on the Linux container won't be available outside of the ChromeBook, unless there's some workaround I'm not aware of. It's a very secure OS. piTouch™ w/JustBoom DigiHat -> RME ADI-2 DAC FS -> JBL 305P MkII monitors; LMS 8.2

If it's anything like the Sonos Amp that it copied, it should be a UPnP target for the LMS UPnP/DLNA plugin. Install the plugin, which should find the Powernode if so. piTouch™ w/JustBoom DigiHat -> RME ADI-2 DAC FS -> JBL 305P MkII monitors; LMS 8.2 on piCorePlayer/Pi 4; Material Skin.
