Raspberry Pi 3
HifiBerry Digi + -- https://www.hifiberry.com/products/digiplus/
One optical cable
One micro usb cable
One 4GB micro SD card
Load Pi OS - Raspbian Jessie Lite
Connect to wifi - Rpi 3 has built in wifi
Load Shairport Sync - https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync
You can also use Picore player (it replaces the OS and shairport sync above) - easier to setup.
Plug optical cable between Hifiberry digi + and dialog
Use USB port on Dialog to power Rpi 3 - it's all it's good for right now - and it supplies enough power to run the RPI3 and the Hifiberry board without an issue.
Set Dialog optical port to autoswitch when it detects input on the optical port.
And voila - Airplay
Once it's up and running it's invisible and no controls/maintenance required. Just conect your iOS device to the airplay device and play. If you have a Phantom Remote, you don't even need to start Spark
Less than US$100
Easy to find instructions on the internet
