"Note:
We're a small group of audiophiles over here running pretty similar setups"

yes you are a small group of nutters claiming to hear things that you can't.Proof of this..
"Call me crazy, but I prefer listening to the master resolution".

You have not the slightest idea what is "master resolution".
If you had actually worked in a professional recording environment you would understand a bit more.
It's not about 16 v 24 or 48 v 96, there's loads more to it than that esp as we are mostly in AES67 territory now/multichannel/latency/convolution.

Studios make stuff for people who live in their little bubble and like to write blogs about what imaginary stuff they think they can hear in there....then criticise male chauvinist groups like ASR for going down their own rabbit hole.
They wouldn't even know most of that stuff has been subject to compression and convolution on a massive DSP based scale, because they wouldn't recognise the artefacts.

Another rabbit hole is the "tube v solid state" arguments, and yet another about speakers or even LS3/5 v any version of it..
I get fed up with shooting rabbits....

"I live in the real world of commercial recordings. I buy whats available".

No you don't you live in your small imaginary bubble of what rubbish is put out there on a daily basis by the commercial entities that determine what you should hear (perhaps), and are dumb enough to pay them for it.

If you were involved with live recording and live stereo broadcast + all the immense problems involved in monitoring it (I won't even start on headphones!), then you might get it.

I won't even start on the problems with surround sound, - which btw I have done quite regularly and successfully...

As for the original posts, I am tearing down the Router/DAC/CM4 system for a bit of maintenance today, and to make up a proper solid installation for my Sowter transformers, which send balanced lines to the amp inputs.

What is more important to me, is to keep that ARM CPU cool when outputting HD video at the same time as running the DSP and the DAC.
That's a tough call.
It makes an amazing home cinema system under Linux 64, but in hot summer weather it's a struggle.
I don't doubt the CM5 will be a horror story to keep cool in those conditions, especially as it has NO wifi ext antenna and NO 9-24V PSU possibility.
A good idea to release in NH winter eh, so as nobody yet knows how hard it will be to keep cool!

btw I do have a version of the CM4 running ANDROID with sound out on HDMI.
If anything it's the best of all for video and glitch free mpeg audio.
I run an enormous heatsink on it, as it's on the official Raspi board.
