Very nice!

Thanks! Tried that already. Also with different computes. Always the same... seems I have a defect unit, maybe a internal short or whatsoever....

Hey there, when I plug my PDV2 into my Mac, immediately a window pops up saying that the device needs too much power and was disabled. I have no chance to make it run. Please find the infos to my Mac in the enclosed screenshot. Would be great if someone could help me make it run...

I'm using the Dekoni lamb-skin pads. Perfect!

...definitely coming!

...no, not at all, it's plug and play...

...no, there is no amp inside to power bookshelf speakers. It can be used as DAC only, but just via 3.5mm jack. As DAC I would prefer the ifi iDSD micro (which I am using myself for that purpose on my desk-rig) since it comes with RCA output.

  I kept the V5i installed in the XD-05 as you can see here. Such a great combination...

...as far as I remember from Ikea...

I so much enjoy my new SPU...   ...and finally found the time to take some actual pics of my setup with my camera instead of just using the iPhone :-)  

...who has ears to listen...  

Audeze Sine...

...yes, I think it is absolutely worth it. Now it is a 210.-€ player, imo sounding at least twice the price... I am looking forward to hear more opinions from others who did this mod....

I am using the v5i in the xd-05 now since some weeks, and I can only reconfirm what I mentioned earlier, just after break-in: GREAT!

No, for the Burson v5i no further modifications on the case of the CD-05 were necessary...
