I'd avoid it. You'd be better off with a used iPad. My ancient Air 2 (circa 2014) just stopped getting major OS version updates this year - ie: 10 years after the announcement, and some apps (which require the latest iPad OS) are no longer usable, but except that, and there is no real gaming on it - it is still a perfectly usable tablet..

For $79 I took a chance on one, picking it up at Best Buy today. My only use will be for streaming so if it fulfills that function great, if not it gets returned.

Well after one month into the world of streaming my views are mixed. Actually my only complaint is I'm getting sporadic 'drop-outs' (connectivity problems ?), I'm wirelessly connected between router and my WiiM. The distance between the two is approx 12-15'. A hard wire ethernet cable will be a PIA because of two doorways.

Any other options / thoughts ?

The router and any wifi connected devices need to be as high and out in the open as is possible to place them. You could think about running wire up and over in the attic or under the house if it is on a raised foundation.

Mine was dropping out initially but it stays on once I get it reconnected and from there, may work 3-4 days just going to the wiim app. I would still like to install an ethernet outlet in that room via the attic. Half my issue was not remembering how I got it to work before. I'm probably 20' from the router.

I'm getting used to it. Well worth the price of admission. Sounds quite nice with the Carmody Speedsters for a bedroom setup.

I have to say that the Fosi audio BT30D Pro is capable as well. When Spectrum decided to do maintenance I had no WiiM but I then hooked up the BT amp and it stayed on all night via the phone. It sounds pretty darn good, too. I really haven't had to use the EQ or tone controls on either. They are just set to flat.

I have two of the Lenovo TAB M10's. The one in my music room that is used nearly every day for at least a couple hours is the older one, now about 4 years old. Still works flawlessly, as it has since Day1. The other is in our living room and gets picked up every couple of days by my wife, who has only learned how to find Amazon Music HD on the Bluesound app and start playing one of a select number of saved "Stations."
