After I finished soldering all components and connected HiFiBerry USB to my Raspberry Pi I did some real-world tests.
The card is working, the sound is much better than the onboard sound if the Raspberry Pi. However I noticed, that the post-filtering of the DAC output of the PCM2903 is not very good. There are still a lot of high frequencies in the output. While nobody can hear these frequencies an active 2nd order lowpass filter after the output stage might be a potential improvement. There is still some noise on the output of the external voltage regulator. This needs further investigations.
How do you connected the keyboard and mouse to your pi?
Please please compare results with 16-bit raspberry pi output:
