Musician Audio Pegasus R2R DAC
Have you tried a I2s pin configuration on your unit? If so, it might be the latest version

Thanks for suggestion but I only use USB connection from computer to DAC.Have you tried a I2s pin configuration on your unit? If so, it might be the latest version

Seems V05 now has a proper place for the lonely silmic cap (low right in picture). In V04 it was added as a fix on top of other parts.
So if one pulls 110v fuse out, pegasus will work in Europe countries?I agree, XLR is definitely the way to go based on specs alone, but the audible difference is significant.
I don't know if anyone else feels the same way, but I'm finding the AES input to be superior to the USB, but I don't have an I2S source to try. I also slightly preferred using Optical (with a glass fiber cable) over USB from my Auralic Aries.
Lastly, upgrading the internal fuses really takes this DAC to the next level. I am currently using the HiFi Tuning Supreme3 Cu fuses but I may try the Ag version out down the line. For $50-$100 or so, it's an amazing return on investment.
According to Aoshida, the DAC uses both fuses in 115V operation and just a single fuse in 220V (2A small slow/delay fuses). See below:
"The engineer said from the live wire of the power tailstock to the fuse is the direction marked by you.
The red color is the fuse of 220V operation,
For 115V operation, the red color and blue color works at the same time."

The mains power input is ”auto sensing”, 110V-240V. No need to remove fuses.
So in order to tweak pegasus with better audiophile fuses you need to change both fuses or only one which is for your voltage? For example in Europe I would need to change only 240v?The mains power input is ”auto sensing”, 110V-240V. No need to remove fuses.

Right. In Europe, change the one circled red and you are done.So in order to tweak pegasus with better audiophile fuses you need to change both fuses or only one which is for your voltage? For example in Europe I would need to change only 240v?
Ok thanks. What about those arrows in the photo? Are directions important? Never realised there are directions on fuses.Right. In Europe, change the one circled red and you are done.

Yes, you have the installation direction on the fuse, place it in the direction shown in the photoOk thanks. What about those arrows in the photo? Are directions important? Never realised there are directions on fuses.
My Pegasus arrived 2 days ago, you definitely can see and hear the Denafrips Ares 2 heritage all over (and that is not a bad thing!), but only some more hours in will tell.
...only the 3 feet solution is a step backwards in my opinion.
Can you exchange the feet without opening/disassemble the case?

Brand new, no burn in? They say it gets better with burninMy Pegasus arrived 2 days ago, you definitely can see and hear the Denafrips Ares 2 heritage all over (and that is not a bad thing!), but only some more hours in will tell.

I did listen the first time after 24 hours continuous runtime, but I also did write "...only some more hours in will tell". So it is still a first-time impression.Brand new, no burn in? They say it gets better with burnin

Musician recommends 300 hours burnin. I would agree wholeheartedly and add that I and other forum posters have found continued sonic improvement at 600+ hours.I did listen the first time after 24 hours continuous runtime, but I also did write "...only some more hours in will tell". So it is still a first-time impression.

The feet are possibly welded, impossible to change. I use three ceraball feet for a bit tighter sound.
