Hello,No, DAC 040 has hand built transformer to match your country's voltage rating. It is very high quality WB transformer.Best Rgds,Paul. 
MBL 1531 to 1621a What to expect?
Update; The 1621a will hopefully arrive around the first week of July, which will time well with re-installation of the complete system after flooring work is complete. Also, this will coincide with the installation of the new rack, which is the f... 
MBL 1531 to 1621a What to expect?
Thank you chaps, most helpful, I will most likely go ahead and try one in my system, the combination of the new DAC and this should be rather nice indeed..!KR,P. 
MBL 1531 to 1621a What to expect?
;-), Thanks Lloyd, much appreciated, pm sent.. I think that like you with your Zanden, it makes sense to try the house sound that you like so much before considering others, and MBL do seem to keep a consistent sound throughout their range, just b... 
MBL 1531 to 1621a What to expect?
Hello Lloyd,Yes, thanks, at last the weather has picked up here,yet I'm hiding away listening Sophie Milman as we speak, my room will be emptied in the next few weeks for re-flooring, inc sound deadening layer etc, so making the most of limited ti... 
PS Audio P10
Ditto, fundamental part of my system. P5 has fans, too noisy for me. All of my components must work in silence or they get on my nerves, inc Balanced power transformers, which I used two of prior to P10. P10 is silent, it just gets on with doing a...

I'd be interested also..Anyone?? 
Review: Concert Fidelity DAC-040 DA converter
Absolutely, I have been trialling an Esoteric K-03 as potential transport this last week, which works very well with the DAC040BD in fact, but in comparison with the internal dac of the K-03, the CF/BD is in another league. In comparison to the SA... 
Review: Concert Fidelity DAC-040 DA converter
That's good to hear as I've not ventured into computer audio so far, though I believe that a CF USB-SPdif convertor may be introduced at some point..Angus, how did this compare with the best transport you have available?Best rgds,Paul.

Review: Concert Fidelity DAC-040 DA converter
Hi Fluffers,Welcome.. Yes, the DAC has to be returned to Japan, this upgrade is not user installable at all, it involves new circuits and very high precision fitting and testing. With regards to the used DAC040, try to establish whether it is V1.0... 
Review: Concert Fidelity DAC-040 DA converter
Hello Hasan,Congrats on your choice of DAC, welcome to the elite! With regard to tube selection in this dac, it is very hard to say which would sound better to you out of your choices, and replicating what worked well in your headphone amp would n... 
Review: Concert Fidelity DAC-040 DA converter
I can say already that dynamics, along with the transparency that this DAC is known for have taken a big step forward, note formation is also very good now, the difference is not so subtle here!I will add more when time with BD 040 evolves!Best,P. 
Review: Concert Fidelity DAC-040 DA converter
Wow, congratulations Lloyd, you kept that quiet;-))Could be an interesting comparison, I think the Zanden / CF could be well worth a shoot out?? I'll keep you posted, need to get the speaker isolation plinths produced in the next week or so, then ...
