if you use Callcentric as documented, Google Voice is working as designed, to forward calls to one of a user's selected forwarding targets. It's a minimal path, and with a high-quality ISP connection at YOUR home/office, AND a high-quality telco (POTS or VoIP), it should sound no different than Google's native XMPP connection. Remember, regardless of if you are using Google Voice/Chat via XMPP to the OBi, or using a VoIP provider, once the call is "set-up" using SIP or XMPP, the underlying traffic is over RTP...same protocol for both services, ignoring any tweaks to the protocol settings.
From his comments, it seems to be the same voice quality, so I may give Anveo a try.
I already have Anveo for E911. Any reason I should switch to Callcentric?
As the author of that quote, about 2 years ago, I'll just note that 2 years later, I'm still forwarding GV-->CC DIDs, and it still sounds fine. It's all digital, up to your telephone plugged into the ATA, there's no signal loss such as with an analog circuit. Call quality problems can occur at any point along the IP network, depending on service provider issues, or more commonly, your own home network and ISP connection.
As gderf already said, twice, just try it. It's certainly your choice as to which ITSP you use (Callcentric, Anveo, voip.ms are my top three picks). You can get a free DID from Callcentric, and if you don't like it, no loss.

Are you able to set this up without paying CC for E911 service? I thought I would try this out, but don't need E911 and the setup is referring to 911 recovery fee. Taken literally, it appears there is a setup fee and 1.50 per month for E911, which I already have.

As long as your address is not in the U.S. or Canada, you won't have to pay for the E911 monthly fee. Hopefully you can take it from there when registering.

Have you taken a look at the Simonics GV gateway? Works very well, no detectable latency, and includes CNAM for a one time fee of $5.99.

I have since gotten a quick answer from CC support and the setup fee and monthly charge for 911 does apply. I guess it was naive of me to expect to get something for nothing, so I understand. Maybe this will be an option to consider when my e911 subscription with Anveo expires. I could cover my e911 needs and get the CNAM too. Oh well. The search for the Holy Grail goes on. ;D
