While this may be superior quality to the onboard headphone jack in your tablet, I don’t like the solution because the output of this is still a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Those jacks can break, and even worse, give noise if jostled. Nothing like giving your audience the amplified version of that.
I suggest using a different input on the Bose. Get something that goes from USB on your tablet into TRS on the Bose.
BIAB 2024 Win Audiophile. Software: Studio One 6.5 Pro, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6; Win 11 Home. Hardware: Intel i9, 32 Gb; Roland Integra-7, Presonus Studio 192, Presonus Faderport 8, Royer 121, Adam Sub8 & Neumann 120 monitors
90 db, your solution was my first thought. However, the Peavey's output is 2 XLR's. The only free inputs into the Boze are either 1/8 inch, RCA, or 1/4 inch. My XLR input on the Boze is currently in use. I guess I could go into a small mixture and then the Boze, but I'd like to keep things on stage as simple as possible.
No experience with the Peavey unit. Experience with 2 different PreSonus audio interfaces.
I use Extremesd's Audio Evolution Mobile DAW for Android. Runs great on my Samsung S10+. Also ran great on my old S7. Not expensive. Available from the Play Store. In your case, take a look at their USB Audio Player PRO and their USB high quality audio driver for Android. You'll need to buy a USB Audio Host OTG cable. That turns the Android device into the Master. I would highly recommend checking out PreSonus AudioBox USB 96 interface ($99.95 on Amazon). It comes with Studio One Artist v5 which now includes support for 3rd party VSTs (a $100 value). It's a really high quality interface that has been tested and verified to work. The USB Audio Player PRO and driver should cost you around $20 via the Play Store.

That's easy. Run the Peavey in Mono and use one of these:
Frank it isn't just making the innies and outies shake hands. There are issues of data speeds involved. Even finding some weird adapter is not going to replace the data stream speeds of a USB port. My suggestion is that you head to Dell, find a laptop in your budget, and not look back to the days of jury rigging. You don't need a ton of computing power and piles of RAM to play back music files.

2000 watts of CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH anytime you move something is not something anyone wants to hear. I agree that 3.5mm jacks have no business in stage equipment.

The Peavey unit looks like a solid suggestion. Haven't used it myself, but it at least looks durable enough for stage use. I would grab a couple XLR to RCA cables to connect it to the Bose.
Alternately, I use a Behringer UCA202 for similar purposes, though it's not what I'd call "stage-tough".
Still likely that you'll need an OTG cable. You can try it without one first. If it doesn't work, then buy the OTG cable. You may also need a powered USB hub if the Peavey is bus-powered.

Per the specs power is provided by the USB connection.
If you have an existing audio interface, see if the tablet is able to power it. As TheMaartian mentioned, you may need a powered hub if the tablet is not able to provide enough power.
User Video: Next-Level AI Music Editing with ACE Studio and Band-in-a-Box®

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
