There are loads more mods that can be done to the PCB, but many of them require extreme skills. Like swapping the PCM1716E for a WM8716. The two chips are pin for pin compatible, but the WM8716 has not got an analogue filter circuit built in, whilst the PCM1716 does. So to do that mod requires a few other associated mods. Then there is the CS8414 timing mod for reduced jitter. Etc. etc.
