Great Ihave been using my D1 in my main rig as just a DAC and this new DAC may be a good replacement for my D1 so I can put it back in my computer rig.  I have the money in hand and have been waiting for the right product. This may be it.  Scott    

I am running the LM4562 in my DAC section and am interested in the OPAXXX opamps.  Where can you buy them and which ones would you recommend.  It looks like 2 are listed above.   Thanks,   Scott

I am also using a VH Audio Flavor 1 power cord which may add to the improvement in sound quality.  I am just a little worried about not having a fuse, but I do not even know if I should be.  It just sounds so much better.

I bypassed the fuse today and I am blown away by the difference in sound quality and soundstage.  Awesome just awesome.

No.   You will need an amplifier.   Scott

IMO the LM4562 sounds better than the LT1364.

Thanks Ultrainferno.   Also see posts 109 and 111 for more pictures and a short impression of the Maverick D1 with the rig.   Thanks,   Scott

My Maverick D1 was featured in the Polk Audio Room at the Capital Audio Fest.  It was hooked up on Friday evening and not disconnected until the end of the show. It replace an Ayre integrated amplifier and was connected to a CTC BBQ amplifier.  The Pictures on the Capital Audio Fest do not show...

An email from Ryan Hi Scott, Your old unit has a "loose" soldering joint. After we fix the soldering joint, everything is fine with your unit. The new mini amplifier will come out middle of April. I am glad that you enjoy using our D1, please do let me know if you have any further...

Mysteek Ryan is releasing an amp in the same case as the D1 meant to compliment the D1. It should be available the middle of the month. Keep an eye out for it. Scott

Thanks Spanky All transplants were a success. New Op amps and Windmill Getter Raytheon. Scott

Quick question. I just got some op amps to roll. Do I need to ground my self? I do not have one of the fancy bracelets. Can I just connect a alligator clip to my watch and a ground point on the D1? Thanks Scott

Which opamp is used in the pre-amp output (not the headphone jack) and which opamp is the correct/recommended replacement? Or is it both opamps. After all of my reading this is still unclear to me. Scott

Ok for clarity. I really only listen to the Pre-amp portion of the D1. How many op amps do I need and which one? Is it the LT1364 or LM4562? Where should I purchase it? Does any one have any of the WE 396A taht they would like to sell? Thanks, Scott

I am trying to bypass or eliminate the direct switch from the circuit.

Do any of you guys know if I can disable the direct button on the D1? On top of the switch there is 2 rows of three connection points and I was wondering if you could run a jumper across the connection points and eliminate the switch? How could one take it out of the loop or bypass it...

I am running XP on my netbook to the Mav via USB. How do I check the Bit rate that I am working with. This is all new to me and I am ready to start to figure this number stuff out. Then I will look into the opamps you all speak of. Scott

The direct button eliminates the volume control and it acts like a stand alone DAC. Scott

I turned mine on after I got home from work and i got a static sound. I am guessing it was because the tube was not warmed up. I waited a few minutes and turned on my amp and it was fine. Does that sound like what others experience?

Got mine today and I love it, and I am only listening to it on the Accurian $15 amp and the Parts Express $25 cheep speakers they had on sale. Can't wait to hook it up to some better gear. I am listening to it through my only headphones which are the JVC Marshmellows and it sounds pretty...

Thanks Spanky.

I missed the DHL delivery today so I should have mine tomorrow. Ryan as far as the volume gain tweaking is this something we can change on our own with some minor DIY or will it be another pot, or can you recommend another pot? Scott

Mine is on the move now so I should see it by weeks end.
