charles1dad, it is always a good thing to post "as you hear it". There will always be skeptics. I could clearly hear "changes" with power cords. So one can understand why a fuse change might affect.Anyways, I am now interested in 2 DACs - The Kits...

I have the CD version of this album and I should say, it is growing on me. I like the album in general.Jafant,+1. I have not come across a bad album from Norah Jones. Have you listened to her "Featuring" album? I think you will like it.

bimmer100,Since you are the distributor of Kitsune DACs, have you thought of creating a "circle" on AudioCircle dot com? Once you have a good enough base, folks can use that site for Q&A, FAQs, interacting with other Kitsune products, etc.
