In my Living Room HiFi I have a Pi4 with a Khadas Tone Board. The latter is a highly respected USB DAC capable of 32bit etc far beyond anything you can currently throw at it. The Pi runs piCorePlayer and they are in expensive WAF cases. I consider this player to be about as good as you can get for a Pi + USB DAC arrangement.
I put it against a newly acquired DAC32. Yes the Khadas Tone Board is better but its very very close. The Pi plus Tone Board and cases came to about £230. The DAC32 is £65.
