The 7815 and 7915 need to be heatsink insulated? Or do they work without insulation?- lucianpescaru

I had to file a bit of the standoffs in order for the 35.5mm cap to fit... not much change in sound, maybe cleaner bass.16x32mm would fit without any other squeeze in issues.- lucianpescaru

Ordered 3300uf Nichicon KA 35V 16x35.5mm will come back with the results. By measurement it seems to have 38mm of off the board. Including the board thickness so it will be a tight fit. Will put some isolation tape on top of the caps, maybe they'll fit.- lucianpescaru

Can you provide a link for 35V replacement capacitors? I prefer Nichicon KA series. What is the maximum diameter and height?- lucianpescaru

Well I changed the capacitor to 1nf as per Gustard's recommendation and no more random clicking. Thanks for the insight.- lucianpescaru

Solving the problem with lip-sync delay in my case was easy, I switched the U16 to an USB 2.0 port. No more dropouts as well.- lucianpescaru

Try an USB 2.0 port. Uninstall driver first then install it again.- lucianpescaru

Hi all. Anybody knows how I can contact Gustard? My volume potentiometer has certain positions where (my guess) does not track properly and the relays are acting like crazy switching like 5 at a time. I need a new pot. Anybody else experiencing this issue?- lucianpescaru

1.61 NFB stable confirmed too. 1.77 sounds really better but left-right random switching makes me crazy... anybody from gustard reading this?- lucianpescaru
