Initial impression listening to the PI2/Piano2.1 combo (no KALI) with the inductor on the Piano shorted are good. Dynamics and soundstage are much better and it could well be preferable to the IQ DAC+ now.
More listening needed, but much 'appier with 'Allo 'Allo now.

Just now I tried shorting the inductor on the Piano 2.0, with the Kali in place. Result: The opposite of what Dave found: I thought the sound was livelier and more dynamic with the inductor in circuit.
Dave, are you going to give Kali+Piano another try?
(I'm on Moode 2.7 btw)

That's exactly what I did!
Please be very, very careful not to touch the caps on either side of the inductor with the croc clip - one end of each cap is ground and if you short to that end something will go pop!
