Sure I'm late to the game.
Absolutely every bug and glitch imaginable,
But after 4 days of stressful playing around,
Got it working with volumio almost.
I can play music wirelessly from phone to dac to
2 channel stereo, but still needs to be hard wired.
Should be totally wireless.
But the sound kicks ass compared to using
iPhone and an 1/8 mini plug.

I tried Rune and Volumio and all internet drops out after a couple of hours. Ended up using Moode Audio and no issues and better sound quality than the others too.
I agree with others that a RP3 is a much better way to go and it has built in wireless.
When my Squeezebox SB3 died late last year, I bought a Bluesound Node 2 to replace it. I liked the Node a lot, but just couldn't keep the thing connected to my network (wireless or wired).
After troubleshooting for weeks, I gave up and gave the Raspberry Pi a chance, and I'm glad I did. I have a 2B with a HiFiBerry Digi+ running piCorePlayer talking to my existing Logitech Media Server setup on my PC. It took just a few hours to set up, and it has performed flawlessly for over nine months. (After I knew it would work out, I added an inexpensive HiFiBerry case.) I couldn't be happier.

I use the coax out. I never tried the optical out.
Also, I paid the extra $20 (or whatever it was at the time) for the Digi+ with the transformer. I don't know how much that matters, but the whole thing was so cheap I didn't worry about the small incremental cost.

Nah, you're not late to the party at all. There's always something new going on with the popular Pi and it's ecosystem of supporting doodads and loads of software. The last one I played with was an earlier Pi that was a bit under powered but these newer ones should be pretty good. Bryston seems to think so. They have one in their $1295 USD Bryston BDP-π
Abe, I just got a new Pi 3 this week and it is much better than my old Pi Model B that I bought 5 years ago. The processing power and 1 Gig of Ram has helped some of the problems I had like syncing with my other SBTs.I have the HiFi Berry Digi+ Board on order. You can basically build the Bryston Pi Player for less than $100. So, why not? It's a fun project.

There is a new Digi+ Pro which is available for Beta software testing now. Best results will be with a direct linear supply.
Pi2 Design is also coming out with a new board with some cool features.
I have been looking at this new i2S re-clocker - they also have a DAC named Piano available..

This seems to be a step-up in design to target somewhat better sound quality..
I have seen that also. There is conversation on Diy. Some good comments so far.
