It's pretty straight forward. you just unscrew two screws on top of the board (it's on risers). The tricky part is there a screw that is kinda under the overhang of the top edge, so the driver can't get to the screw straight up, kinda have to use an angle or have a tip that bends. once...

Excellent seller. Item in perfect condition. AAA+++

PM coming

Cardas Audio Clear I2S cable customer pinned for Denafrips DDC to Sonnet Digital DAC's. This is the RJ45 style I2S with Telegartner connections. Bought from official dealer direclty. Sold my Sonnet DAC so no longer need. 0.5m length. Will ship anywhere at your expense.

Great feedback.. my experience was similar :v:

I did the following and thought it was beneficial...also put strips on each side of the IEC (which is hard to see) but didn't do the two rows of caps in the back.

@buenahora excellent buyer. great communications and friendly to do business with. AAA+++

I bought the one @cdacosta mentioned. the problem I see with the jbtools one, is since the punch is hollow, how are you going to get them out? With the hammer set, the pieces get stuck in the end hole, and I had to use a chopstick to push them out.

My source is the Innuos Zen. All my FLAC files are stored there, and Qobuz. Zen->DAC->Preamp-Amp I'll try the molex next... I've also been wanting to order the Nano liquid, but haven't yet. will do that next.

So far, I'm pretty shocked how it sounds... I wouldn't believe it would be this audible.. I'm fairly skeptical until I try things... and in my current system it's dialed in so much I can easily hear changes for better or worse. Did the Innuos too. I can always test again and remove, but very...

First step complete... did my DAC, all the caps, around the IEC inlet (inside the chassis).... Let it warm up, and pleasantly surprised.. small details tend to be popping out more.. small breaths, faint taps/brushes on drums, equipment... (fyi - in image below you see I had previously applied...

I have a lot of hole punching to do :) That is very interesting on the speaker driver itself, you'd think you'd want the vibration there since that's how a speaker creates sound (vibration) and not interfere with it in any way...

Awesome.. thank you... got my hole punch too so will start one device at a time... funny I went wild yesterday on my DAC, and even put strips down the side of some power caps... it seems to dull things a bit, so I took off the strips on caps and a long strip I had on a metal brace (that helped...

Hi @cdacosta tried to piece mill together your use of fo.q tape in this thread, but could you provide a summary of where you've used this with good results? I got the TA-102 in today, and have read it does well on sides or tops of capacitors, I'm gonna get a hollow hole punch kit to make nice...

Another more affordable fuse I like is AMR from UK... you can get them from UK for 15gbp https://www.analogueseduction.net/fuses/amr-audiophile-gold-hi-fi-fuse-20mm-x-5mm.html

The Puritan units use a C19/20a cord as input from wall, then your normal 15a inputs for all devices. So a 15a Ultimate wouldn’t connect 1512 to wall outlet.

So you using the stock C19/20a cable the 1512 comes with? Then using your ultimate for a connected device?

Thanks @dougms3 @cdacosta I just picked the Japan seller with most feedback. Ordered the TA-102 for now.

Anyone have a good source for the fo.Q TA-102 tape?

Anyone recommend best quality Furutech NCF IEC connectors on Ali? I need a 20a C19 along with the standard male plug.

I'm sure it's about system synergy, but no brightness here.. just more spatial, I'm sure due to lower noise floor. PSM136 just listed for $1100: https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649943601-puritan-audio-labs-psm136-power-conditioner/ PSM156's all seem to be around $1800

Ha. I was just researching the same thing. I have a PSM156 and 4 Classic Plus cables, but was using the stock 20a Classic with the unit and wanted to look into upgrading it to the 20a Ultimate. Figure I'd feed it with the best cable, then use the CP cables for my devices. But so for even with...

couple cables left...

I will be listing a separate Denafrips Gaia DDC I used with this DAC. Can do a package deal DAC + DDC for $3500 shipped. sold the Gaia

Bump. added two more power cables, 1.2m and 1.5m
