Tablet + Wired Speakers

I'm eternally frustrated with bluetooth for my general audio and playing music in the morning so I want to wire a tablet in to a set of speakers. I have a couple year old Samsung tablet that I currently do bluetooth into a speaker but half the mornings the bluetooth has dropped and I have to jump into settings to rejoin the speaker before I hit play on the music. What I'd like to do is have a set of "dumb" speakers that I can wire the tablet into. Anyone have any experience with a speaker that can handle USB input from a tablet to play music? I'm not an audiophile so I just need something that is decently loud that I can hear while in the shower next to the bedroom. Or am I better off getting a USB to 3.5mm jack adapter/splitter so I can still do power to the tablet and send the audio to the speakers?
 
US. Dac to 3.5 to powered speakers would be easy and fool proof. Better upgrade or change path later than if the USB and DAC are in the speakers.
 
Tidier, cable wise, to just run the one USB-C to the speakers but I hear you that it might be easier if the speakers are truly just dumb as a post and receiving audio. I might have to 3D print a better mount for the tablet to tuck away the adapter and tidy up the cables. Will have to do some research.
