OK, that's the kind of information I want to know about.  Can you
elaborate, please?  I'm happy to learn.

erland, thanks for your hardware suggestions.  I take it all on board,
but to clarify my aim; I consciously want to build and configure my own
system, and I'm under no illusion this will save me time or money.  It's
a matter of satisfaction.  I have already partially built up my own hifi
system, and I'm fortunate to have the assistance of some technicians who
are more clever than I.

Yes, the very best audiophile output.

Off the shelf, no.  Modified/hacked off the shelf product, yes. 
Initially I will configure the device for USB audio output to a high
end USB DAC, with asynchronous clock and good power supplies.
