Just get this and Volumio. No need for a screen assuming you have a device that can access your local network and has a web browser. I don't know maybe a phone or tablet. You can stream your music from anywhere on your network using Volumio. Tried Rune, PiCore Player, and Moode but I kept coming back to Volumio for one simple reason. Best sound quality.
There are a dozens or other DACs to try such as Durio, JustBoom, Iquadio, etc.
I also have a ChromeBox, but I installed the latest UEFI bios and Windows 8.1. Tried Gallium OS, Kodi, other distros of "ChromeBox friendly" Linux. Once I installed 8g more memory and Windows 8.1 it ran like a "normal" computer and made me realize that all of those other Chromebox OS choices were pointless.

If I would use The Pi for music, I would just use USB.
Pretty cool stuff you can do though, thanks,
USB? Name one USB DAC that can be purchased for under $100 that would be worth connecting to anything beyond a boombox.
I don't know any DAC under $3K that is worth it either.If you find one under $100 let me know. Closest I've used that is worth it on a budget is the Yaqin DAC K-9 for about $500.
