In the past I have used a Dayton Audio DAC01 hooked to a pi3b+ w/pi
lcd that tcp boots and I play FLACs from bandcamp zip files I mount
with zipfs. The zips are stored elsewhere on a FreeBSD server via
sshfs. I haven't used it in a while but I remember it mistakenly being
detected as a keyboard and you had to manually start nusb/audio. It
was fixed not long ago IIRC. Sounded great.
