Good eye, there are some Resister and Cap changes it looks like.

Whatever different batch of resistors and capacitors he used have different colours. When I asked about this once, Kingwa said there was no difference (unless for SQ improvements he's changed the grade of capacitors used).

Might be whatever he get's by the case that week.

That would be great, thanks a lot!

I thought that was illegal in most parts of the world

But all this is used for "medicinal purposes only.." should be okay.

Ah, good.

proud owner of a C-2C now. My source is a zhaolu zapfilter II with RCA and true balanced outs.

quick testing confirmed that XLR input is better (at least in my setup). With XLR, the soundstage is a tad bit larger than using RCA, while at the same time maintaining the dynamics of the RCA connection.

Thought you guys might like to know:


C2C output impedance is 2 ohms.
Output is
25 ohm: 560MW
62 ohm: 1350MW
100 ohm: 1200MW
300 ohm: 400MW
600 ohm: 200MW

Wondering if anyone is running rca out of the dac 19 with a rca/xlr cable

into the c-2c and if it would make any sound difference? TIA.

From Kingwa reference the above. For some it musta been obvious, for me, with a perpetual learning curve found this out...

Dear Patrick,
The BNC is the coaxial plugs, not analogy plugs.
DAC19MK3 feed to C2C only can use RCA->RCA signal cable.

nope. b/c you're still coming out SE from the DAC. my DAC is fully balanced which I fed to the C-2C's XLR inputs

Nice to see another user having Zapfiltered Zhaolu feeding the C2C (although you have the Cirrus chip, mine is the AD)...

I emailed Kingwa yesterday about the genuine Neutrik jack and stepped attenuator for my "prototype" C2C. I opened the case and compared the insides to the recent black version and I seem to have a double front panel so the STEPS probably won't fit because the heatsink is very near to the front panel...

I then went to local electronics shop and bought Neutrik NJ3FP6C for my C2C. It wasn't a big deal to change the "pirate-Neutrik" to a genuine one. Now the jack is as tight as it was in my LD MKIV SE

Oh, and the silver jack fits nicely in to the silver front plate.

I am curious if anyone that owns a C2C has also owned or heard the Gilmore Lite? I currently own the GL but am considering the C2C if it is much of an upgrade.
