I had a digione with my Pi3. I never heard any improvement over my Hifiberry digi+ so sold it on.
To my ears the Pi4 direct from USB to dac sounds better than both. YMMV

Thanks for everyone's input. Really helpful. So considering I already have the Pi3 should I go HiFiBerry to try it out or all in with the Digione?
There's a fairly big price difference but I wouldn't want to get the HiFiBerry and then be tempted to upgrade in a couple of months time.

If and when I make a change (pretty well made my mind up that I'm sticking with the Boss for the time being) I'll go for a Pi 4 via USB with no hat.

I was considering the NJC DAC, hence my original post.
I'm not convinced any change in DAC will improve my listening pleasure at the moment and can't be bothered with the hassle of a change and the additional cost.
Forgotten we had discussed this earlier in the thread Mike
