Any “value” competitor streamers vs Bluesound Node 2i?

Guess I will throw the best ( IMHO) sub $100 option out into the room. Although a friend said prices have risen of late on eBay but still....

Google Chromecast Audio.

Sadly discontinued but no idea why.
Hockey puck size but streams up to 24/96 very reliably.
I have two of them.
Google Home makes setup a breeze.
Control with bubbleupnp.

Sound really really good to my ears.
