Why would you need newer and more powerful hardware for listening to music? Really doesn't seem a good use for the money.
The existing shield has been THE longest android device ever and still has ample power to play back even reasonably high quality x265 4k hdr without issue (15gb per hour). Couple with it being one of the most flexible without having to jail break.
The WiiM Pro if you just want audio would be the only other device I would consider as it has Roon support. If you are serious about audio then Roon can be a game changer particularly for multi room audio and multi service audio. Yes you have to pay for Roon, but no FOSS is as easy to setup and use for the average user.
The only big thing it cant do is Av1 streaming, and its not really mainstream yet. The only possible upgrade would be a mini pc setup as an htpc, but then you're giving up android tv. And I don't think they can stream av1 yet. Afaik there arent any better arm based android tv units on the market than the shield tv. Im planning on changing out my shield tv for an htpc someday, especially now Nvidia has dropped gamestream. Android tv is a headache, and id rather deal with just linux/kodi at this point.
