He he nice. Most power draw is at boot time. So it passed your laptop peak current test. Now to see if your little sink will suffice for your use.
Hey don't barbeque the sink for fixing errors on an i7 Asus laptop. Run audio software mainly. 😉
AC ripple 4-5mV, laptop doing windows update.
I'm goona to change the heatsink for other bigger.

During Daphile only maybe the sink will be enough. For updates, browser, video streaming etc. surely needs bigger. Maybe 4-5A DC pull during Windows update.
Salas converting DSD on the fly with Daphile with higher rate worse sound, could be the SMPS of laptop is pulling a lot of noise?
Across D11? That's lots of spare in-out voltage contributing to heat. How high AC gives the transformer?
High for the purpose. You must be having 34-35V rectified? That little sink and TO-3P pass transistor proved heroic to update an i7 19V laptop without collapsing. 👍
Changed the heatsink for a bigger one.
Yesterday all night listening music using the L-Adapter powering the laptop without issues.
Not a big change to the sound, possible due to the fact using a SMPS filter.
Now can use the Daphile DSD256 upsample without a lot of degradation of signal.
