Cen.grand said the fuse does not have to be a fast blow. A 'timed' slow blow can also be used.

Yes, that is the correct fuse.

You're too late. They're already on the plane flying to the states. :) Hopefully customs will only take a couple days.

You do not have to use the proprietary connection between the DAC and streamer, you can still use USB if you prefer. It will be interesting though to compare USB against the proprietary connection which by the way is called POW and has been patented.

Yes, it is a true balanced design.

I think the main thing the LHY UIP is providing in this application is galvanic isolation from a computer / music server that doesn't have isolation on the USB outputs. So less digital noise is being transferred to the DAC.

You going to leave the plastic on the top? That's like having a sofa covered in plastic. lol

If you are using a DDC with i2s, there's no need for anything else.

So definitely broken in then. Cen.Grand says it need 300 hours. Should be interesting to see what it sound like with the music server.

Just cureous how many hours have you put on the Deluxe?

It's really strange that it's only happening with that one receptacle. Maybe something is wired wrong?

Inside the V222 is a ground jumper (please check the manual). You can try setting it in the other position and see if the ground loop stops on that receptacle.

This LHY UIP has me intrigued. I sell several different DDC's but I have never tried a USB re-clocker. What audible differences are being heard?

Here's a picture for you. :) Slid to the left side is 115 volts.

The voltage selection switch is on the bottom of the unit accessible from a small recessed rectangle hole.
