Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Oh gee, is this going to be a significant step up from the exisiting DAC and will it require the same power supply to the RPi?

Looks like it's aimed at users that want balanced outputs.
Maybe uses the PCM5242.
It might sound better than the DAC+ or it might sound the same (using the phono single edned outputs).

Now available, any one compared it with the DAC+ using line out? Worth upgrading from the + ?

The PRO, like the DAC+, works in slave mode so it's still taking the clock from the RPi via the Pi's poor I2S lines. So I think it would be more of a side-grade for those who particularly want balanced out.
A significant upgrade, imo, would be the Allo Kali reclocker plus Piano DAC. About twice the price though.
