Web Controllable HiFi - Any suggestions? (lemmy.tr00st.co.uk)

Summary first - I'm looking for software to use for web-controlled music playback. Main requirement is playback via a DAC on the hosting device and a half-decent UI for it (though streaming would be nice...).

Hardware-wise, I've currently got a Pi Zero W paired with a HiFiBerry DAC+ Zero, which has been fine for me quality-wise, routed as an aux input to an old HiFi. That, plus plenty of space elsewhere to host split apps - currently running Emby as a main streaming host for other media, and the media is just on a NAS pulling over NFS.

I've been using Volumio for a while, but have been frustrated with a few things (UI, playlist management, etc) so I'm looking for a change. Streaming from Emby/Jellyfin via DLNA looks like it might be a decent fallback, but I'm wondering if there are any nicer ways to handle it.

Any ideas? Open to switching a few bits of infrastructure around, of course :)

I'd like to be able to easily play music stored on my devices (phones, tablets, PCs, Nas) over the stereo system I own, anytime, controlling it with said devices, without having to manually go through multiple setup steps to get everything powered up and paired every damn time. Is it possible to get it all set up once so that I can simply hit play on my phone and hear the music whenever? Seems like it should be doable but I haven't been able to figure out how to get it done without having to go through a whole rigmarole every damn time. 😄 Would really appreciate any answers or leads.
