I would love for this to be integrated into a voice assistant like Alexa. I could spend hours playing this on a road trip using Echo Auto.

I’m sure the compute costs to host this would be pretty high, and I’m not sure there’s a way to charge users to cover that cost. Perhaps a self-deployed version for the more technically savvy folks?

I think AWS Polly (https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/polly-text-to-speech-in-47-...) can do this. I'm not sure of the quality compared to Google's or Apple's TTS though.

I run this exact setup in my home office and it's great.

I've been wanting to try the Topping amps; this one with an integrated USB DAC looks interesting: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?partnumber=310-...
