Six DAC Comparison
Congrats Don! That is a great dac and certainly sets up your total system up for sonic success!  Well done.   
Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like"
@verafiaudio I spent several decades in product development and innovation - food innovation to be more precise. It is clear to me that you are a gifted innovator in the audio industry and perhaps in other industries. I have been very impressed w...

Thank you Mark.  Great that you respond so promptly and fully.    
Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like"
I agree moving forward Mark could offer an IEC built-in that would plug into the component. Of course that does not take care of folks like you and I that have the current version. The other thing Mark needs to consider is there are a lot of folks... 
Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like"
@ozzy Your build is certainly an option and your particular build is very high quality. I think an adaptor of high quality would be potentially as good sounding, lower cost, and for some a less cluttered option. I will build one per my plans above...

@verafiaudio That is great news! I am thinking of using AC connectors like these in the link below. This is just an example as there are several well priced options for AC connectors I have used in my past cable builds. Remove the outer cases/sh...

@verafiaudio Be great if you made a high quality adaptor that could plug into the component or wall. Nothing out there right now and I will have to make my own. Not sure of the design yet, but I really don’t want another cord. I also think a top...

Purchased two Swiss Boxes and will report back vs SR Master and Purple fuses.  Decided to go with cheap adaptors until I can make my own of much better quality.      
New Synergistic Master Fuse
Great response @jmfinney    I have a couple of Master fuses here.  I think I will try the Swiss box. Did you spend more for the graphine sluggo? I am leaning towards the copper high purity.   
New Synergistic Master Fuse
@jmfinney please share your direct experience between the Swiss Box and Master fuse. Love to know how they compare?   
New Synergistic Master Fuse
I placed a SR Master fuse in my integrated amp with no dac.  All I can say is wow! I know SR says dac or streamer are the best places, but my experience is very positive in my Int amp. I have a purple fuse in my streamer.  Really love the combo as... 
Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like"
Regarding an audiophile fuse vs the Swiss box,  Something to consider is all these audiophile fuses degrade in sound quality over time according to Synergistic Research owner Ted Denney. I was going to try a Pink fuse, but knowing this I am not ... 
Ken Fritz's $1M Dream System update
+1 @mulveling   Yes private and we don’t know the reality. Seems we should not speculate negatively on a man that has passed.  
Check This Out!
I just purchased the Galle dac after hearing it in my system. No, other $3000 dacs are not 99% as good. My goodness folks, please post here based on your actual experience with the Cinnamon Galle dac. My favorite two dacs up until this point have ...

@ricred1 you have a nice system as I checked it out on the virtual system page. I really like the Live Vibe products! Once you establish any kind of baseline relationship with a dealer most are willing to work with you. Colin is no exception. I i...
