A Pi is silent by default @39$. And your iPower cost me 50$ extra.
The USB I clean up with an active USB filter for less then 100$.
Do I need more?
Why should I spent hundreds of $ to make an extremely complex silicon dinosaur silent!?!?
The entire approach (and discussion) is IMO nonsene!
With things like that we played around 10 years ago - remember Cics.
It took the industry years to catch up. Now they try to sell systems/solutions which are actually outdated again.
And the actual underlying key issue still hasn't been properly addressed.
The key issue: Making DACs that do not respond to upstream induced distortions.
Because we, as users, will never ever get the upstream environment under control.

Hi,
> A Pi is silent by default @39$.
Sadly, the Pi cannot remotely offer 1/50th of the functionality etc. my full blown machine can (e.g. being easy to using a normal screen and remote handset, without requiring a handled computer connected via WiFi to operate).
If you are happy with a squeezebox alternative and needing a Phone or Table to operate the thing and a separate server and all the setup complexity to make this shooting match work, good for you.
I never had any use for squeezebox and it's ilk, personally speaking. Other have different views.
So it's Horses for Course and DE GUSTIBVS NON DISPVTANDVM EST.

At 20 bits, you are on the verge of dynamic range covering fly-farts-at-20-feet to untolerable pain. Really, what more could we need?
I tried your custom Linux OS on my netbook?
Lol, we could have been rich with doing basic crap with Linux a decade ago.
Not these guys have mpd and charge $1,000s. Lol.
