With the outages this week I have decided to revisit synchronized multiroom audio. The important feature for me is that it needs to utilize the "cast" button within the Spotify/Tidal/etc apps because that's what my family uses.

Does anything exist other than the chromecast audio pucks?

I'm not sure about self hosted specific. There is a device called WiiM. Works with most of the major streaming services. I believe they're also working on plexamp integration too.

I actually looked into Wiim and it's really great, but you need to open the music in their app in order to do mutiroom. You can't just "cast" from Spotify or whatever.

EDIT: Some Wiim devices have chromecast built in
