Yeah I tried to look for the specific XMOS chip in Dangerous Source but couldn't find it. It's a 192/24 DAC but everything gets oversampled to 352.8 kHz or 384 kHz, depending on the original rate.
The Dangerous Source comes with a standard 12V 2A power adapter. The unit runs dead silent and don't have a complaint with it, but don't know it's full potential. I was looking at the Teradak 12V 13A LPSU, as recommended by someone.
I'm looking at the U12 mainly for it's re-clocking purposes. I am eventually planning to add something like an Aries with Femto clocks to the Dangerous Source. Will the U12 be decent enough by itself in it's stock form, or do I have to further mod the U12. I would prefer to just buy the U12 and add it in the chain and press play.
The U12 is good to go, I have mine setup and am very pleased with it. I don't see modding it as necessary, that is more of a hobby pursuit. I feel that the U12 has more or less already realized the margins of the potential of TCXOs. I think to achieve that next level of performance, one would need to look at OCXOs which can be an order of magnitude more accurate than TCXOs, and quite expensive to boot.
