Nope

TG-Link is ways better than USB. Use a D3 with the sndscape sound card via TG-Link and you'll change your mind.

Look more at sound card with a good digital output, some have no analog output.

How to replace the laser pick-up assembly of your CD player Would cut the connexions as on the picture make the job to get a NOS TDA1545A player ?

Not precise enough, noisier, less realistic to me. Colors and tastes...

Even 100% stock, the zhaolus are good sounding DACs. I got a 2.5 and a 3, both are great.
