If you have a Linux box like a Pi, you can expose that machine's audio device over the network with PulseAudio, and if you have that enabled, it'll autoconfigure and work like any other PulseAudio device.
I used to share my DAC between my laptop and my desktop this way. Whenever I plugged my headphones in, it'd default to them on the local device, and the remote would default to the network device. I could walk away from my desktop while playing something, and it'd continue playing on whichever I had my headphones plugged into.
