Review: Concert Fidelity DAC-040 DA converter
Just a brief update: the upgrade to the DAC040 is complete and I now have a sample here for testing :-))Installation will be over this weekend, initial listening won't be until Sunday evening due to commitments but I'll be sure to post when the un... 
PS Audio P3
I would agree that the dac would be a small improvement and suggest that the P3 would benefit each component it powers. Experience with P5 & P10 has shown good benefits here but like each part you need to try one first.. 
Difference between Brinkmann Bardo and Oasis?
Any update Wrm57? Keen to hear about the Brinkmann, especially with either tonearm you settle upon.. 
Kuzma Four Point compared to SME V-12 tonearm
I am interested in this also, the SME , Kuzma, AND the Thales are on my radar.. 
Digital XLR Cables
Matt, it sounds like you have what you required, a 'digital' xlr. As posts from Al & Riffer pointed out, balanced digital transmission should be at 110 ohms.. Glad it works!

Piermauro,It may be worth emailing CF direct for info if you do not hear back soon..Best Rgds,Paul. 
Review: Concert Fidelity DAC-040 DA converter
Piermauro, Hello.. Today I received news from Japan that the upgrade is on final test, Tsuda-San is very thorough. It is not user upgradeable though, there is a new circuit added. Does Italy's distributor have some info for you? All being well, th...

LLoyd,Not yet no, i will wait for a while on this as there has been a hefty investment in some ZL200's and stock, though i do see a MT K as icing on a very nice cake indeed..

Taksil,That's great to hear, and I also agree that Teajay's perception of the qualities of this piece are spot on. I'm sure you'll hear digital differently now, and have fun with the tubes! I see from your system (which is very good indeed) that y...

Taksil, it will be with us late December/ early January I expect. As is, it is a wonderful dac given a good transport and valve selection. Keep us posted on your impression, and let us know what partnering equipment you will be using. Rgds,Paul 
Can I replace a 24uF capacitor with 22uF?
The Clarity MR are large caps btw.. I would be inclined to parallel 2x12uf, as the circuit was designed with that esr in mind i would have thought. 
Can I replace a 24uF capacitor with 22uF?
Clarity can make whatever value you need, they are very very good caps. 
By-pass fuse and add a circuit breaker
As Al says, no, not a good idea, but one i'm sure many have had. Circuit breakers in my experience, in the uk, degrade the sound quality far more than a fuse. 
Review: Concert Fidelity DAC-040 DA converter
No problem Piermauro, i will let you know as soon as we have the upgrade here in the UK..We have the 080 and 120 amplifiers here also now, they have been installed for just two days, just incredible transparency..Also fast, with wonderful texture ... 
Breaking in speaker cables??
OP, by 'speaker disconnected', i trust you don't mean shorting the circuit, i.e. joining the red and black at the speaker end?? There are amps that might tolerate this but 99% will go bang..
