Yesterday i got my U12, changed the fuse to an audio-grade one and connected thru a regular USB cable with my AudioPC / DAC.
First impressions:
Soundstage has opened up, deeper, wider, more definition, tonal it's more "mature" (has more body), it's just more lively.
I compared with an I2S converter like the Speed Dragon UAU06A (from manufacturer Syba Tech). This tiny thing looks like c..p but,
when u use it with an external, beefy, battery (cut power and ground wires), this little thing sounds fantastic, at least, until now
I'm surely VERY VERY happy with my U12!!! It's burning-in as we speak
Next thing to do:
Replace stock LM317 with Belleson SPJ17 +5V which is pin-compatible (available at Parts Connexion)
Maybe i'll exchange the buffer caps for better ones like Sanyo Oscons or Panasonic FC's,
and of course fiddle a little bit around with a few pieces of 3M AB5100S
Can't wait till it's complete burned-in (normaly about 150 hours),,,,
Where is the fuse in gustard u12? I don't see in the internal photos.....
