You could, although you need to check the available bandwidth and data allowance your carrier provides, as these can be a lot lower for hotspot use than for regular phone use. In some cases you can chew a whole months data allowance in an evening and lose the use of your phone. Always check the small print.

Not sure I understand this. In U.S, terms I have a router connected to a cable modem (which also provides my phone and cable service). My MuSo has an ethernet connection to my router. As I mentioned above, on several occasions when I had a service provider outage or needed to reboot the cable modem for some reason, the router lit up a strange color but continued to work, at least for the short term. (I only recalled this after my initial post.)
Of course this assumes I have a router available in my godforsaken place. But I would think that Bluetooth would still work in any event. A USB storage device would also work, but I don’t know how I would navigate.
For the record, I do use streaming services, but I would happily settle for local music.

True. Here in Germany I have the lowest flat-rate tier of my phone provider and that includes zero data charges for one type of media, naturally I chose audio streaming, so is a non-issue for me. Other countries and plans may differ
I fell foul of this once when my home internet connection was down and I rapidly used my phone allowance by tethering. Fortunately when I called my mobile carrier they were happy to give me a few extra GB free once I explained what had happened.

You may be able to set up a small local network with something like an Airport Express which will connect your phone to the streamer.

No problem… optical input from CD or DAC, 3.5mm input for any line output device you choose… I’ve hooked up a NAT05 for example.
Same great Naim sound
