You might want to try Volumio on ARM computer orDaphile on Intel http://www.daphile.com/
Both are optimized headless Linux systems.
You just burn the downloaded image to a harddisk and then
you configure them over Web browsers.Daphile and Volumio also support DSD afaik.
For all PC/Windows fans with class compliant DACs and a spare HDD/SSD. Playing around with Daphile will be a no-brainer.
Just give it a try.
Cheers
