(Vaguely) Audiophile alternative to Transporter and SB+?

Hello.


If anyone can help me I'd be grateful.

I'm recreating a hifi I sold 15 years ago when I moved into a building site.

I have a problem with the front end though. I used to use a @-tunes modified SB3 called an SB+ which was good. I also had a Transporter but did not get along with it.

So I'm looking for suggestions for a high quality front end. I have wondered if there's a company that makes top-end audio adaptions of the raspberry pi but am basically open to any suggestions.

For anyone who might be interested this is the system I'm re-building.

Speakers: Shahinian Arcs
Amp: Naim NAP180
PSU: HiCap
Pre-amp: NAC102

You might think my obvious choice of front end was the Naim NDS or NDX but I prefer the Squeezebox ecosystem and these two items are silly money (and you still need to buy power supply!).

Thanks for any suggestions.
