Since Daphile is based on Logitech Media Server
(formerly Squeezebox Server), it should work just
fine to send the bits to a Raspberry Pi. Easiest
configuration would be via Max2Play, which is free.
You'd need:
1. Raspberry Pi
2. Case (optional)
3. Power supply
4. HiFiBerry audio card (1/8" analog stereo or RCA
analog stereo or S/PDIF depending on which one you
need/buy)
5. MicroSD card imaged with the correct version of
Max2Play
Configure Max2Play to run Squeezelite at boot and
it should show as another player on the LMS web
interface. You can send separate streams to
multiple players or have all the players synced.
I just built one for $91, though I already had the
MicroSD card sitting around.
I say all of the above based on the assumption that
Daphile has not crippled the multi-player aspects
of LMS. I use a vanilla LMS install feeding a
variety of official Logitech hardware, Wandboard
Quads and Raspberry Pis.
