A few folk have opened these.. this was a cheap 3 quid job... you get a fair bit for your money.

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!”

Ok - looks as though I was right that there’s some circuitry, but some Li battery cells can output 3.7V or slightly more - https://batteryuniversity.com/learn/..._with_voltages
For a 3.7V output there’s thus no need for voltage changing circuitry, so the circuits are mostly for safety and charging. If other voltages are needed - to drive amps or some DACs then other circuitry will be needed. So I got this part wrong for a 3.6-3.7 volt device, but for other drive voltages more circuitry is needed. I’ll try my own chromecasts with my own storage batteries - from Lidl.
I’m not sure if there are battery units which do other voltages for other kit.

I'm still very interested in the sq difference between a CCA and a Raspberry Pi with a digital hat.
Any opinions?

I had a Pi/Allo Boss setup until recently and I thought that beat the CCA into my SEG no problem.
Just recently setup my Allo Sparky/Piano/Kali and that beats both the Pi/Boss and CCA. All using Spotify Premium and Qobuz HiFi.
For the money the CCA is decent enough but it's back in the cupboard for emergency use.
Interesting, I currently use a Pi/Boss v1.2 and also think this is better than a Pi/Digione/Seg combo.
I'm thinking about an external DAC and wondered what would be the best transport to go with it or stick as is.

The Project Stream Box S2 Ultra ( designed by John Westlake ) is highly rated by Hans Beekhuyzen ( check his YouTube channel ) reckons it's 80-85 as good as the SoTm Neo Ultra yet only half the price of the Neo.
It runs on Volumio. If Iwas thinking of trying one the Project would be high on my list. Needs a separate DAC of course.
