how did that work out for u?
It was amazing! I had to wait for the PS to break in for 500 hours. But then, the taste really opened up. The depth, the clarity, the layers and the separation of flavors was like nothing I've had before...It's like I had a much more resolving kettle all of a sudden. Highly recommended! Word to the wise, though: don't try it until it's fully broken in or you'll be disappointed.

Re 5V supercap Rpi upgrade: I'm sure the brass spikes are a significant contributor to there being more "there" there in the SQ. A novel idea for a power supply. Can't tell from the photo but I hope they don't conduct to the ground plane.
I should try this idea on my noisy wall wart powering my DAC. I'm sure a couple 20d construction nails thru it into the wall will stop the noise it's feeding into my AC mains.
