Hello,@Dandoudou
Welcome back.
Yes, there are two fuses.
One is for the replacement where the square is provided.
The other is the one where you replace.
So from your picture where you posted the right side you replace.
Have fun with the new fuse.
Remember the direction of travel if the fuse has one.
Otherwise, it may blow directly, which would be a pity.
Give the fuse time, minimum 100h as a rough rule of thumb.
It gets better and better as a rule.

There is no indication on the fuse, which is the right side.
So, I tried one direction, then the other, and picked the one that seemed better, though I'm not sure that there was a difference.

Yes, with the Hifi Tuning fuse, for example, there is no fixed running direction.
Hifi Tuning says you should test both sides and choose the one you like best.
It will be similar with theirs, and the Gustard one I guess.
With the right side, I meant the compartment where your new fuse goes in, not the running direction of the fuse.
The direction of the fuse is a different issue.
Also, do not change the direction of the fuse until you are done with the burn in.
So from 100h onwards, it is worth trying to turn it and check whether something has changed personally or not.
The Refine fuse I bought has a fixed running direction and must be phased out accordingly to the running direction, otherwise it blows.
The phasing out is easy to do with a multimeter, it only takes a few minutes.

ビットレートに関係なく、hifiast などから nas で flac や wave を再生すると、ランダムなタイミングで一瞬音が途切れてしまい、音楽を楽しむことができません。他のプレイヤーには問題ありません。どうにかできないかな。

Regardless of the bit rate, if you play flac or wave with nas from hifiast, etc., the sound will be interrupted for a moment at random timing and you will not be able to enjoy the music. There is no problem for other players. I wonder if I can do something about it.
私たちはそれについて何かできるでしょうか?今後のアップデートで修正される可能性はありますかビットレートに関係なく、hifiast などから nas で flac や wave を再生すると、ランダムなタイミングで一瞬途切れてしまい、音楽を楽しむことができません。

If you cared to use an online translation before you post on this English Only forum, you will be helped better. As for me I am doing my effort too since English is my third language.

I have my R26, as well as all other equipment, connected via a filter board which offers up to $200,000 for replacement is anything is damaged by a voltage spike or lightning. Now I'm wondering if such a board would be having any adverse effect on the sound. Does anyone have experience with this?
Why don't you try powering the gear without the filter board and compare the sound quality?I have my R26, as well as all other equipment, connected via a filter board which offers up to $200,000 for replacement is anything is damaged by a voltage spike or lightning.

Exactly what I'm about to do - I was hoping advice from others here would save me from the hassle of moving my cabinet (yet again!) to get behind it!Why don't you try powering the gear without the filter board and compare the sound quality?
Just got my LHY OCK-2 connected to the U18. I notice the R26 now lets me select an external clock without erroring. Does this mean both the R26 and U18 are using the external clock connected to the U18?
And does anything know if I should be using the sine wave, or square wave output on the OCK-2?
Thanks
Edit: The R26 does seem to throw the "EXT ERR" most of the times when trying to set to use the external of the U18
