Suggestions for Squeezebox player replacement for a non-techie longtime SB user

I've been a Squeezebox user for a long time, dating back to my first
player, an SB3, that I picked up in person at the Slim Devices office in
Mountain View, CA.

I've managed to buy a few spare players used through EBay, some of which
have already been put into service. My "collection" is 4 devices in use
at my primary residence and 2 at a second home. 

Thinking forward to the day when used players in reasonable condition
will no longer be available, what recommendations are there for ersatz
Squeezebox players that are convenient, have a small form factor,
produce acceptable sound and are as close to plug and play as the
originals? I don't want anything requiring a screwdriver, the assembly
of parts (even if they come in a kit), the need for hands-on usage on my
part of Linux anything, or the like. Is the easiest path forward simply
something like a small Android device with the player app running and
output through the headphones socket? Awkward but functional, something
I could manage but maybe more than my wife would want to use regularly.


Thanks in advance
