I like the way you've separated things
Thanks. I reckon that giving the clock an individual clean supply is paramount to low jitter. Giving the I/O banks of the Xilinx CPLD it's own 3.3V feed also proved worthwhile. There are only 2 other improvements that I may get to - removing the final 1.8V dc-dc converter & isolating the I2S out (can't do anything to isolate the USB 2.0 at Hi-Speed 480mBits/s)

Ah, yes
