I recommend iQAudio dac over the Hifiberry option. An rpi 2 is a good opton, can be powered by a battery (don't know about 'safe' enclosures) Look on Tindie. A Joggler can do all the control you may want (I have not managed to get one to work from a battery yet, but would imagine a dc/dc converter would work).
