Great choice for sure. Like you said much to do with the power supply. Must have great dynamics and slam as well as many other attributes. Wonderful to know a manufacturer actually listens and compares many parts in the same location. I suspect ma...

Haven't even began to look at the power supply for this dac.Power supplies are critical. Even a 12 volt battery powered dac can be audibly improved by just mechanically grounding the battery. Who'd a guessed that one. Better sound thru better chem...

I agree. I don't have a stock piece of gear in house. We will have a different take on the power supply. Can't have to much of the most important thing. Any plans from you on cap replacement or rolling of those parts after further play time? Tom

Horning Eufrodites - help needed with boomy bass
The pillows you tried early on can you put those on the floor underneath the cd storage area? And if you have more, open the doors of that same cabinet and put something soft in there as well. And then leave the doors open for energy to pass thru ...

Volleyguy1Mechanical coupling is just that and generally has no design bearing on capacitors other than maybe how they are wound and most importantly under the context of resonance control..how they are mounted. Direct mechanical coupling is a met...
