With a weak Amlogic processor, 4GB of eMMC storage, and only 512MB of RAM, the device is too underpowered to run anything more demanding than its intended lightweight web-based media player.

Microcontroller hobbiests are over here salivating at those specs with the included screen and rotary controller

Yeah, you can run a modern audio streaming client on an ESP32 with 16MB of flash and 8MB of RAM , look at the LoudESP project
