Thanks for input. I have enough experience to re do some PS caps and a few others as well a cord without messing up too bad. (Some switching supplies can be a bit touchy) Fortunately schematic is on HiFi Engine. Will be using mostly as transport but keeping noise down and plenty of juice to the laser makes sense. Likely will do some chasis damping and maybe the drawer.
I found an interesting CHOICE of "wasapi" outputs in AIMP software, one labled "Schiit gen 2 USB".(!) It did seem to improve things into the Bitfrost but am a "bit" confused because I thought bit perfect wasapi was one thing. Need to read more and invite knowledgeable commentary.
Out of respect to OP, moving my speakers a little and hanging some modestly priced absorbers, including behind speakers, makes the most difference. The rest is mostly fun.
BTW intellectually I have a hard time really believing power cords make a difference but emotionally, a nice robust mechanically stable short as practical cable is quite satisfying. For 20 bucks, a nibbler and solder.
The Mapleshade modded Cambridge CD in the other set up came with what looks like Saran Wrap outer cover on power cord. It is a fun conversation piece if nothing else and the whole thing does sound good.
I choose not to engage with folks who state opinions unpleasantly but dont mind firm opinions, it being a given that all such are combination of knowledge base, experience and internal synthesis. Most of y'all are great fun and I appreciate it. A lot of the fun for me is that the stakes are low. It is a good escape from many of our jobs, or civic, political and personal engagements where stakes can be much higher. This is not really the place for that, me thinks. It is intriguing that on line forums interaction is an evolving communication thing with its own linguistics, sociology, and signal to noise ratio.
