Not Cavalli, it's a Soren Brix build.
My limited understanding is that the analogue output would be replaced by D1 I/V, not fed to it, but I may have just written something that makes no sense.
Regarding the benefit, I don't know, there might be no benefit at all--that's why I'm online reading about the topic.
If you or your friend can design an I/V that's more linear than what RME has, a Nobel is waiting for you.

Well dang it. I'd like to respond that my friend is convinced the RME I/V can be improved, and that this friend has friends who agree, but I'd only be parroting them.
For a Nobel?? Geez, I don't have enough expertise in this area either.
A good check would be to ask him for a schematic of the RME I/V and if he can point out what is the problem 😎
Opinions are a dime a dozen.

Thank you for being blunt, it's appreciated.
Full disclosure, he already gave a detailed explanation...several times and with patience...that I didn't understand. I took a bunch of notes that turned into several hours of googling.
Should I take it that you don't agree with a benefit from an "improved" power supply for the RME as well?
I don't know the RME power supply. But these things are complex systems.
You can't just replace one part in the hope that the system gets better.
Years and years of engineering-design hours goes in such products.
The idea that you can change a regulator or an I/V and all of a sudden you have a better product is, frankly, ridiculous.
It's like changing a bearing in a car for a more expensive one and expect a better car.
More likely there are consequences you're not aware of (and you cannot be aware of) and you break something.
The RME is a ($ 1600 ?) exquisite piece of engineering. Don't violate it.

interesting comments. i really cracked up at your comments on Billy Joel recordings🤣
just curious if you'd comments on what mods you made to your DH120?
