I've used several of the HiFiBerry dacs with great success and they have compatible cases available.

Edit: There s a pretty good list of RPi dacs here:

I thought my DAC had died.   Turned out my receiver was the trouble.   I bought a new receiver and hooked in the DAC and it works!!!   Listening to "Kind of Blue" as we speak

WB3FFV:
 So is everyone saying, that feeding HDMI into a good system doesn't sound well?    Using HDMI it should be using the receivers (or prepro) DAC, and though you can have junk, some gear has very nice DAC's built in.   

 I was thinking of taking and hooking up an RPi4 to my Marantz, just to see how it worked, but for sure I don't want to have to use an external DAC to interface with it, as the DAC's in my pre-pro are pretty darn nice DAC's..

JimH:
HDMI out of a Raspberry Pi into a receiver is great.  It's how I'm using it.  No problems.

what do you use for a case?

IQaudio do a series of cases for their own products. I use the see through one. I also added a push button switch to shut the Pi down nicely.
