So, I tried to change out the fuse for a synergistic fuse and the fuse holder snapped. The part holding the fuse. I just tried to remove the red nano fuse and the plastic part just snapped right off. I contacted Tim at Kitsune about a replacement fuse holder... so we'll see. I did not use a lot of force and was deliberately gentle when I tried to take the original fuse out from the holder. Pretty bummed out. Guess I'll see what Tim can do.

This should be an easy fix. the only test is to their customer service. Let’s see how it goes.

If you're really impatient, just buy a replacement iec inlet from mouser or digikey and swap out the fuse holder

Just so you guys can see what I'm talking about, here is a picture of the fuse holder:

I tried to super glue it back together before going to work hoping that it would be stable enough by the time I got back, but to no avail.

It's depressing and it sucks. Can't do anything until Tim gets back to me with options.

Tim from Kitsune is around. He just refunded my order placed within 48 hrs with some resistance.

Isn’t it just the power cable? Those should be pretty standard.

Just as an update, Tim replied back and said that the replacement fuse holder is on its way.

That's because he has to pay hundreds of dollars in non-refundable fees whenever someone cancels. Thanks for helping to drive up future costs of these dacs because you can't make up your mind.

I wonder how much the red nano fuse in the kte models would change the sound of the level 2 Spring 3 and May. Kitsune no longer sells the red nano fuses anymore, with the only exception being if you are a KTE owner with proof of purchase. I think there might be something special going on with the red nano fuses. I'm excited to be able to go back and forth with the SR purple fuse and the red nano once I get the fuse holder from Tim.

X-posting from the Spring thread, I'm getting one this week and I'm wondering if anyone has some good HQPlayer settings for PCM or DSD upscaling to share. Thanks

The Apple powered CCK adapter worked for the HS-3 and my iOS devices!

The refund costs are already built into the current pricing based on the number of returns expected by them.

Not according to Tim....

Thought I might get an answer here. My May KTE arrived in April 21. I have not tried HQP but is my understanding correct that I will need to swap out my USB port in my player to be able to use the 1.5mhz upsampling in HQP?

Oh cool, a Kitsune Hifi employee! What do you do there? What's it like working there?
