Sorry for lack of updates. I haven't tried the kernel settings above - may try them today Kunter! I'm progresssing veeeery slowly as I'm spending more time listening to the actual music than playing!
I'm using Volumio 1.5, Anker 2nd Gen Astro E4 13000mAh battery, and a cheapo USB printer cable at the moment. I've been switching between cheapo Toslink and cheapo USB. The Cubox is irritating in that it needs a small Toslink plug to fit due to the case surrounding the plug. Initially I preferred the Toslink but with modifications to Volumio I'm more inclined towards the cheapo USB, so am looking for a better USB cable solution, ideally a cheap one.
With Volumio I find 'Best Sinc Interpolator' is a big improvement on the default 'Fastest Sinc Interpolator'. Also set mixer type to 'disabled'. I can't really tell a difference between this and 'Hardware'.
