RE: LiFePo4 Battery from 13.2V to 12V (or 11.8V)

LiFePo4 has very low internal resistance, in mohm, so only very high speed small cap can help them further. The caps on the ebay link do not appear to be high grade ones, I don't think they'll help. LiFePo4 is alread the best choice.

If you want to improve SQ, invest on the 5V rail which is in the audio chain and thus most critical. P4 12V powers the CPU core and graphic etc and has a secondary role. The CPU core is somewhat like the engine of a car but the ram and I/O circut are like a ECU (the brain) which programs and direct how the engine will run.

LDO ICs with 3A or more current delivery capability, such as LT1084, 1085 & 1086 can do the job. You may try using high quality regulators, but I don't know whether they will improve SQ. Please give it a try, as I want to know the result.
