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.
