Yes, you can use Plexamp headless for this - Basically its plexamp running on a Pi connected to your receiver/AMP via say SPDIF, analogue audio etc. and plexamp on your mobile is then used to control playback - [Plexamp on the Raspberry Pi](https://forums.plex.tv/t/plexamp-on-the-raspberry-pi/791500)
