Are you using a 96/24 vinyl rip, or 44/16 cd rip?

Bummer, now I'm really gonna bug them about making a digi+ "Pro"
I wonder if the linear 5V is a very pure source for the 3.3/1.8-- as
reading some more on Daniels thread, he could not measure any noise on
the 3.3V on the pi, so it's very well done... not worth trying to
separate it, add a header for 3.3V etc...
Any thoughts?
