With most companies now blocking some of the older mobile devices from their
networks, I'm sure they're plentiful and your idea is excellent. I often use
my Note 3 to stream into my bluetooth speakers/soundbar and it sounds pretty
mint. 

I'm shocked that my carrier is going to block the Note 3's as of February
2022 claiming it dials using 3G but it does indeed use 4G. Rather than 
scrapping it, I'll just use it as a mini tablet mainly for bluetooth streaming
to my bluetooth speakers. The headphone jack can also be used to plug into
an aux input on a receiver. I imagine you can find good older devices on
eBay pretty cheap too.
