I have been looking for something similar to stream music to my 2 channel stereo receiver and am considering the Yamaha WXC-50. I'm currently using a Chromecast Audio, but would really like a remote for streaming playback. The WXC-50 has a mode switch that allows it to be used as a player only. I know it seems like overkill to buy a preamp with DSP and all the other preamp functions and use it as a player only, but considering the price compared to the Sonos Port or the Bluesound Node 2i (neither of which have a remote), and it looks to be a better deal. And who knows, maybe someday I'll finally retire my 30 year old Yamaha receiver and find a nice little amp to go with the WXC-50.
