Yes, I thought about that, and included in my list, linking the first
device I could find on amazon about that.

But I know nothing about that, besides that I once used a wireless
(probably bluetooth) headset with a very old Android Phone.

Is bluetooth DAC the same as sending bluetooth audio to a receiver, or is
it different? Google does not clarify.
Wikipedia mentions A2DP as bluetooth audio, and nothing as bluetooth in
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital-to-analog_converter

That would work, has anybody tried it? Suggestions for hardware or software?
Does anything similar exist for the phone screen, so I can be spared of the
HDMI cable too? Or is that too much bandwidth?

If you still want to use a Pi for storing your files, then maybe you could

I see. That still seems overkill to me as the other suggestions.
Perhaps I can instead use the Pi just to store the files and access them
from the phone over the home network, without doing the streaming part.

Thanks!
