Thanks Robin.
Yes, you have to upgrade the hardware, eventually. But, problem is, you
upgrade it for adding another software, rarely for making existing
applications faster (except if you lack software experts to do so, or
you are advised by hardware makers...). ;)

Well, I don't know which is michael123's job, but he's right on software
performance. Optimizations are not indefinite, of course, but you can
divide useful (externally observed) response time by 20 to 50 most of
the time. ;)
Thanks!

That sounds like -more- distortion.

Not answering your question, but on a safety note you need to have some
analogue attenuators between DAC and power amp (unless your dac or
power amp has an analogue gain/level control) or you are risking
potential destruction of your speakers and amp.

Thanks for the help here.
The new buyer reports the remote isn't working, the unit doesn't
respond to it. Would that make the Xilinx reset basically impossible to
do?
