It's better than native Pi but that's not difficult.  B-)  The
headphone out on my tablet or phone is perfectly acceptable, or you
could possibly Bluetooth it to a digital amp and not "drop" to the
analogue domain until you get to speaker driving. Or maybe connect a
USB DAC to the tablet.

Just options.

Headphone out is as near as damn it line level and will be controlled
by the tablets volume up/down buttons. SB Player is the bit that
takes the stream and instructions (volume etc) from the Squeezebox
server, it has no stream selection interface. You then have choice of
apps to control what the server sends to any given "Squeezebox". This
app can be running on the same device as SB Player.

Just options.
