Chord Mojo(1) DAC-amp ☆★►FAQ in 3rd post!◄★☆
Thank you very much! I have added a Jitterbug to the USB connection to the computer but I don't know if that will address the galvanic isolation issue.

Output Transformerless vs Transformer Coupled Output Tube Amps
Oh another fellow anti-capacitor OCD! This is my amp with only ONE high-end Jupiter Beeswax II or Teflon V Cap capacitor in the signal path, of course its a single ended triode. BEHOLD: The Zen Integrated from Decware!! 6 glorious watts per channel! http://www.decware.com/newsite/SE34I.htm...- AegisAvantGarde
