Um, the Bryston Pi IS a Raspberry Pi in a Bryston box, with a humungous markup. I’d look elsewhere for the performance to price ratio you want.
You might look instead at the Auralic Aries G2.1, if going into a Dave or TT2. If Qutest or below, maybe you’d like the Bluesound Node 2i (the epitome of turnkey at its price), or something more upscale like a Lumin U1 Mini, the Auralic Aries G1, or Sonnet Hermes.The controller software is something you should research if you’re not planning to use Roon. Another option is to get the Chord 2GO + 2YU combo, but I'm baffled why they don't just make a one box streamer instead of Chord-specific 2GO (Hugo 2 only) and Poly (for Mojo only).
