All you need is RAM with the barebones version as long as you have a player providing the OS bootable from USB. Around 230 US including 8gig RAM.
I‘ve been using for several weeks - I have a regular desktop PC on my network as server and using this as endpoint/renderer for the Linux based Daphile music player (free) see https://www.daphile.com/. Daphile is the OS and I loaded it on a USB stick. You will also need Daphile loaded on the PC (can also load on USB stick) as well. I have a 9V Teddy Pardo PSU powering it but you can use anything from 7-24v.
Basically this places your USB source next to your DAC and with very low noise and power requirements- and with a very small form factor.
You can put it anywhere-mine is behind my TV monitor.
You can also get Windows preinstalled on these (requires minimal installed storage SSD) or self install any of the other Linux based music players.
I always leave it on (they are designed for continuous operation) and no functional issues so far. You need to attach a monitor via HDMI when first installing for access to BIOS /GUI.
