Basic Roon + Raspberry Pi Set-up?

Posted by Plato65 on December 27, 2016 at 20:29:44:
Thinking of setting up Roon Core on an iMac with outputs to systems in different rooms through a another iMac, a Sonore uRendu, and/or a Raspberry Pi but need advice on the set-up.

1) What is a basic Raspberry Pi set-up that:
- has a decent looking case?
- can run Roon Bridge?
- can connect to home network through wifi and ethernet?
- can use a USB port to charge an iPad that is used to control Roon?
- can output audio through USB at least at 192/24, preferably 384/32?

2) Would it be difficult to add SPDIF and/or TosLink output to the above?

3) Is there a similarly priced, comparable quality alternative?

If possible, provide links to websites where I can buy the necessary components.
