Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

Raspberry Pi and USB out

If you are going to use a Raspberry Pi as a streamer with USB output to the DAC, make sure you get a RPi 4. The USB output of the RPi 3 is flaky.

OTOH, if you use a DAC or Digi HAT on a RPi for analog or SPDIF output to the amp or DAC, then the RPi 3 works just fine. (I've got two RPi 3 players with HiFiBerry Hats - one DAC, one Digi - that work great as Squeezebox players under LMS.)
