Bit-Perfect UPnP/DLNA Renderer

You didn’t say budget. But if it is on the lower side, the bluesound mode 2i may be better quality than a chromecast puck using the CCA toslink.  You could link the node to your dac via coax link. It has its own app BluOs to control it.  Plus it’s on sale until end of month at 449USD. Free shipping and 30 day trial. MANY have suggested its streamer function is not significantly inferior than some streamers costing significantly more in the thousands.

Chromecast Audio and after I have read some reviews confirming that it is indeed bit-perfect through its optical out, I see no reason whatsoever to pay more

One issue with chromecast audio is doesn’t support gapless playback

It seems to have been discontinued but I am watching each and every CCA currently available on ebay :-)

I see a number on eBay and here is one on canuckaudiomart

Alternatively, have you considered a USB>SPDIF converter (dongle or box).  I am using a used Schiit EITR (USB>SPDIF (coax-RCA) converter; ~115 USD) to stream USB-c from my MacBook Pro into my DAC with coax (no USB input available).
