I have a piCorePlayer with HiFiBerry. I was a soldering newbie, and had no difficulty in assembling it. I bought the version with unsoldered RCA sockets, which I attached to the board via wires. I had a cheap plastic case for the Pi, and the whole shebang fitted in with a few minor modifications - I had to trim one or two supporting ribs of the case, and drilled a couple of holes through which the RCA sockets protrude. This device is as far as I can see, completely stable.
I also have a Pi running Squeezeplug and Squeezelite. This one has one of the Wolfson DAC cards. I'm not sure if piCorePlayer supports this card yet. It required no soldering, and has a wide variety of outputs - I mostly use the headphone output just now. I used one of 'these cases' (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Transparent-Enclosure-Dissipation-Raspberry-Computer/dp/B00ENQJ43Q/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1397626092&sr=8-5&keywords=raspberry+pi+case). The case comes with enough parts to contain the Pi with the attached Wolfson card. I reckon that case would be fine if you used the HiFiBerry DAC with all the soldered on connectors. Both these devices work faultlessly for me.
