I’m looking to get a different listening environment and conveniently stream some WAV tracks from a network drive to FireTV and stereo system.
I’d rather not upload to Youtube but I could always add a music folder in Plex.
Any other obvious suggestions i’m missing without whatever slightly janky software is out there on the Amazon (Android) app store?
I suppose i could sideload some other Android app as well.
I’m probably making this more difficult than i need to, but perhaps someone else has had the same thought 
I am in the Apple ecosystem so I stream over Airplay (to a Raspberry Pi 3 with PiSound to my Yamaha HS5). To be honest … I can‘t remember when I was using actual WAV/Flac/MP3 files … times have changed for me in that regard.
If I was on Android, I‘d probably would use something like Kodi, Plex or MPD https://www.musicpd.org/

Have a look at JACK, it’s anything but janky, it’s not really easy to set up, but once you’ve done it, it will just work.

You’ll have to dig around, but I’m sure you can route to android. If you get a ROKU you can just connect to it as standard as a wireless display via windows with no extra software. I have a ROKU plugged into the HDMI of a projector, some of the best money I ever spent.
oh boi! Haha… I have to deal with jack on my Pi. And I really wish I would not know jack. But also alsa and pulse. It‘s so damn undocumented I started to hate linux more than ever.
If you go that route, use a GUI for jack (QjackCTL) - I was always to lazy to remotely log into my Pi for the GUI … but I guess it would have saved me a lot of time. But OP said he uses FireTV … so this tip might not help at all?
I’ve only used it on windows. It was fairly simple when I followed the info. There’s plenty of videos on youtube. The performance was really good in Bitwig, maybe better than the Elektron drivers.
The windows one comes with a few GUI apps, with about 600 buttons of which you need to press just 3…
