I was going to comment the same... I've got a quality stereo amp (bought used), great floorstanding loudspeakers, a little DAC. I set up everything once, making sure everything was correctly positioned. There's one input I use on the amp: the DAC. I typically hook a MacBook Air to the DAC.
There's zero inconvenience. There's a volume button and that's it.
No updates. No wifi. No "smart" anything. Only a totally dumb setup that simply works.
