I still maintain once your looking at the Redbook Digital its guesswork, you can't ever know what was between those samples for sure.

Pioneer tried this with the Legatto Link DAC. On simple stuff I personally liked it. On complex stuff it generally made things worse

glorified electronic guesswork, it will sound different, it may sound better, it won't be any more accurate a version of the original analogue waveform

are they happy with zero toe in?

and up next on the mini review. The Doc recommended cheapy Chinese Linear PSU I bought this to replace the crappy PSU on the PI i my bedroom system. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hifi-linear-DC-5V-output-power-25W-USB-amp-DAC-external-power-supply/131524729527?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=...

Fails your cosmetic requirements but NVA?

that is indeed a fair point, common sense to the rescue

Since I need to order some more chinese cheapies anyway I think I'l add a 12v to the order and see
