In my opinion, the biggest hurdle is finding suitable devices with the correct form factor - such as the Booms you have or the Radios I use. Fitting a DAC to a Raspberry Pi is trivial, rather more of an issue is sorting out a case for the assembled unit, plus as you say there's a need for a connection to speakers.
One could make a set of smart speakers using Raspberry Pi Zero, or maybe the (probably technically more demanding) SqueezeAmp devices. Or one could use an old tablet - I have an old iPad3 that works quite well if connected to the DAC in my HiFi.
