DietPi was an easy setup but I couldn't get a VNC setup, but I can ssh into the RPi from my Mac. I initially tried Raspbian but couldn't get miniDLNA to work. Set up wasn't that hard, but I needed a keyboard/mouse/monitor for the initial setup. I wouldn't characterize it as 'a veil has been lifted', but more like 'background noise has been removed' (which I didn't know existed). Much improved sound in so many ways - better space between instruments, better sense of recording space, better micro-details (violins sound more like a bow on a string), better dynamics (leading edge is more defined), less harsh. Previous setup was iMac USB direct to DAC.

RPi USB output to DAC (with a USB re-clocker thing). RPi 4 running DietPi with GMRender as a DLNA renderer. Music files are served from an iMac running Audirvana (which uses the UPnP protocol to serve files).
