I've only just come across this thread. My Duet receiver was becoming troublesome, and I discovered PiCorePlayer while wondering what to replace the Duet with. My setup is in my signature.
Sound - I don't notice much difference between the Duet (when it was working properly), except I think there may be a bit more definition in the analog output from the HiFiBerry HAT. The digital output to my home theatre sounds the same as before. Bonuses - (1) my power bill has dropped noticeably, because the Pi replaced a Windows PC, and (2) I can play 24-bit FLAC files. In another six months, the Pi and HAT will have paid for themselves. Setting up piCorePlayer was easy, and a good intro to the world of Raspberry Pis and Linux.
