Sounds like I may as well try loading Daphile on to my NUC and trying that first...my NUC has Ubuntu OS on it, so hopefully it is relatively easy to do, although Ubuntu is very new to me...I will search the Daphile forum for step by step instructions on how to install on Ubuntu..
Like moOde, Daphile is a headless music server. It's installed from an .iso image and replaces your Ubuntu installation. Should work fine.
As for moOde, the RPi4 models are great but with your hardware an RPi3A+ should work just fine assuming you'll be using WiFi.
I think the 3A+ hits the sweet spot for USB dac usage. It's compact and doesn't generate the heat that the RPi4s do. I find moOde to be perfectly happy running in its 512MB of RAM (right now, mine says there's 212MB of available memory after accounting for moOde and buffers).
