I would keep the kell away from Chinese products.

Try CV3986; then we are talking

CDM used to be $850 when I bought it, LOL

One thing DCE beats the CDM is it runs very cool, the CDM gets hot really quickly, not portable, I dear someone will put the CDM in their pocket as they will get burned from it

DC Elite arrived today. I connected it to my Macbook and used Audirvana to let it run for about 6 hours straight, and then I listened for about 2 hours. The DC Elite sounded great for a dongle: clean, with great transparency, and it packed a good punch for low frequency; sub-bass impact, and...

Just jumped on the DC Elite bandwagon, I hope it is as good as everyone raved about. Currently, I am still using my old trusty ALO CDM tube, need somthing on the go.

Ferrum support was smoking something, it is their fault to choose such odd ball socket. It is NOT the fuse sound REALLY bad then backward, they sound little artificial, awkward (unnatural), and MAY gain some dynamic and have wider soundstage when backward, yeah it is funny.

How ever this is correct:

Like this:

The direction in the pic/drawing above is backward

If your system has 6 or more fuses, it is very hard to single out each one before you get really mad, sad, or just want to kick something!! I been there, just before I tired to kill myself, I took one step back look at the "industry standard" that is if you look at the fuse facing the logo...

If the system is detailed enough, people will tell the difference, but the process is slow, the ears might adjust to the sound already that make it hard to tell. I had my preamp ordered new and listened it for a few days, then I hooked it up with a CDP, took the bottom cover off, placed a fan...

You have to play music or noise to let some current flow through the fuse to burn in, all the fuses I have their sound improve pretty linear.
