Thanks for all the responses!

 

I am already using a Raspberry, but a comparison to my cousin's Micro Rendu, proved pretty obviously that it was inferior.

 

A comparison of a mini computer, optimised for audio, still was not as good as the Rendu.

...

Recently me and couple friends compared Micro Rendu and Raspberry Pi2 \ Volumio 1.5.

With equal power supply - Uptone UltraCap™ LPS-1, these is a little difference in sound. Micro Rendu has more body, Rpi \ Volumio has more dynamic sound. The power supply is critical, as usual.
