Does the quality of a power cord makes any difference?
Yes it does. I have tried both a "standard" power cable and compared it to a 9 AWG, shielded one and the result is significant.Does the quality of a power cord makes any difference?
Thanks! Is the fuse a T500? Can it be replaced bij a Gustard Nano fuse T630ma?Yes it does. I have tried both a "standard" power cable and compared it to a 9 AWG, shielded one and the result is significant.
The quality of the sound improves quite a lot and the last thing to add is a good fuse to make the best of it.

Yes, it is the recommended value for the nano fuse from Gustard for the U18.Thanks! Is the fuse a T500? Can it be replaced bij a Gustard Nano fuse T630ma?
I use the SOtM sMS200 Ultra =>Gustard U18 =>I2S=>Rockna Wavelight. The Interface receive the correct sample rate but looks like he lost connection after half second on I2s connection.Should I connect the U18 to a USB 2.0 or 3.x port on the PC?
USB 2.0 is fine. Plenty of throughput for streaming audio. What is of more importance is to use the best quality USB cable within your budget.Should I connect the U18 to a USB 2.0 or 3.x port on the PC?
I'm sorry but what do u mean by adding a good fuse? I need to open the case and solder something in?Yes it does. I have tried both a "standard" power cable and compared it to a 9 AWG, shielded one and the result is significant.

High quality gears are usually very sensitive to the choice of fuse. The U18 responds very well to silver based fuses. It is all about to balance the sound to Your preferences.I'm sorry but what do u mean by adding a good fuse? I need to open the case and solder something in?
Thank you.
VERY Coold stuff. Seems like a easy tweak. Any chance u can share which are the silver fuses u tried that are good?High quality gears are usually very sensitive to the choice of fuse. The U18 responds very well to silver based fuses. It is all about to balance the sound to Your preferences.
If You are pleased with what You have. Don't change anything.
The fuse is located in the power cable input. It is a 5x20mm fuse. You can pull out the fuse holder with a small screwdriver (slits marked red)

Original fuse is 500mA/250V and Gustard recommend their own silver fuse on 630mA/250V. You may choose 500mA/250V or 1A/250V. Both will do the job but 500mA/250 is the safest choice for the protection of the electronics.What's the Ampere of the the fuse that should be tried for U18?
