Thinking about Upgrading my DAC Modi-MB to Bifrost/Gungnir

I am looking to liberate my Modi MultiBit from my stereo so that I can use it in a headphone stack. What am going to notice between the 2 DACs? Basically I can go cheaper on the headphones and stack and afford the gungnir but am I in the territory of diminishing returns at that point? Schiit is going to get my money either way, I just want to know how to split it up.

GTD 1752 vs 1756

I'm sure this topic has been beat to death but I want some more info before pulling the trigger. I have a 2012 JSW, CJAA. So far it has a TZ Stage 2.5 tune on it, 3 in downpipe (previous owner), and a S and B intake, DIY turbo muffler delete (previous owner). The car is running well and it's super fun but it's at 127k and I feel like the stock turbo is getting a little tired and I am finding a little more oil in the charge piping.

Rather than replace the stock turbo or go with a CR170 I wanted to jump into 17 sized turbos and go with a mild to medium "Stage 4". What I am accomplish is a fast spool, stock like boost threshold, a sledge hammer torque curve that these engines are known for, and by the way this is my 40 mile daily highway commuter. I don't really care about peak HP, I don't really care about dyno numbers period, but 400-420tq would in line with what I want to feel.

Right now I am just planning on a turbo and a tune, but the longer term plans include a Darkside IC or a FMIC, and a CP3 pump if/when the stock pump shits the bed ( I have a Whitbread kit on it ). Other than that it feels like the law of diminishing returns kicks in hard and I have another car I would prefer to put the money into.

TLDR: I want a bigger turbo and I am leaning towards one over the other but I want to know what you all think before I drop the cash and spend lots of hours installing one.

Mk6 Headlight Information help.

I have a Mk6 JSW (I call it a GWABA, Golf With a Big ... Butt) and the dash told me to put new highbeam headlights in, so I did, it then told me to put new DRL bulbs in, so I did that. Now it keeps telling me to put those lights in. I don't seem to have the ability to clear the dash. I tried obd11 pro, and it says nothing is wrong. I cleared all the codes and it made no difference, I looked into the service alert pages, I see nothing about headlights.

When I scan the car I get a module fault for the drivers side back door, but again, nothing about headlights. Do I need to replace the module even if it is showing faulty? I would be will to try but I see WILDLY different pricing on the different modules. How do I get the car to stop squawking at me?

I am getting into NRA Precision Pistol, formerly Bullseye and didn't want to run a 1911 yet for a number of reasons so I did a little research and G41's are actually pretty competitive. So far I am pretty happy at the 25 yard line, lots of vertical stringing at 50 yards, but I was expecting that.

I shaved the finger grooves and polished the trigger up, I have a ton of other mods planned and if you all want I can do build updates as I go.
