Anyone using Teddy Pardo XPS for Naim nDAC and Teddy Cap for the Supernait 3? Any good?

My system : Oppo BDP105D Universal Disc player/Transport > The Chord Signature Super Digital Coax Cable BNC > Super Lumina DIN5-5 DIN >Supernait 3 > NACA A5 Speaker cables > Totem Forest Signature Speakers.

I’m looking to upgrade the Supernait 3 and the nDAC with outboard power supplies. With Naim’s recent price hike I’ve been scouring the net for good pre-love gear. Not a lot of inventory in the US and if the is a candidate is the 13 years old and on the brink of a refresh.

Does anyone have any experience with Teddo Pardo products in Isreal? Is the voltage compatible, how was the shipping experience? My biggest concern is with the voltage match-up. If any one has used the Pardo products and tested them directly with the Naim brand was their a difficult in PRaT? Any assistance you have is greatly appreciated.

I am using a Teddy Pardo Dual 5V, 2A power supply to drive both a Bluesound Node N130 and a Chord Qutest DAC.  The power supply made a large positive difference for the Node which required removing the internal switching supply and replacing it with a simple internal connecting wire supplied by Pardo.  Replacing the switching supply made a smaller but also positive difference with Qutest, increasing clarity and PRAT.  Adding the Teddy Pardo also allows for swapping power cords which further adjusts the sound.  I am currently using a Furutech FP-TCS21 cable with SonarQuest carbon edition connectors with rhodium plated copper contacts.  I have also tried larger gauge Furutech cable with Furutech connectors which works well too.
