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 Now they try to sell systems/solutions which are actually outdated again.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.
