The easiest way for me to try PGGB was using Mojo/Poly, where I could load standard and “gargle-blasted” files onto an SD card. I found improvements, mostly in the bass, but not enough for the inconvenience it would be in my system:Now I know what to do about a transportable rig, here's a Linux box @ 70mm × 70mm × 40mm

Then use that for storing some upsampled files

Just flip some switches and maybe this guy could also be paired with Mojo 2 then?

Roon Rock wireless to RPi running HiFiBerry OS with a Digi+ Pro hat outputting optical to mScaler and dual BNC to TT2.
So, I’d have to convert from a system optimized around optical to one optimized around USB, move the Core, ditch the WiFi, etc. Add to that that only 25% of my music is local and the rest streamed, with all new discoveries coming from streaming, and it just doesn’t work for me. But I look forward to hearing improvements and maybe the calculus will change. Maybe Mojo2 will make the PGGB difference more apparent and worth loading up SD cards.
