Can anyone recommend a good quality insulated DC power jack for my Pimeta amp?

I want to install it in a Metal case, and it is advised to use an insulated DC jack to prevent problems.(as per tangent's guide)

Should I also use an insulated Headphone out jack as well? Thanks.

If you insulate the power jack, don't bother to insulate the headphone jack.

Also, there is a non-locking version of that jack for standard DC power connectors. The locking version requires a special variant of the 2.5/5.5mm connector to do its thing. I recommend the locking version anyway because I prefer its looks. Both work.
