+1 for piCorePlayer.  I've built two of these (one with HAT DAC for
feeding analog inputs and one with DIGI+ HAT for feeding a DAC). If you
can follow simple instructions and snap something together, it is dead
simple. And software setup easy.  In both cases I'm also running LMS on
the rPi units.  Be sure and see:
