Any issues known for the Pegasus?
Which fuses can you recommand?

It really does make a big difference

Really. My friend with higher education in electronics, they don't believe in such tricks was wondered, that it's working. I especially called him for this experiment. I use Synergistic Research Purple

What are these differences soundwise?

Didn't test. I read the reviews and got what I thought is better. That was the right right choice for me

Synergistic Research Purple is what I use.

The difference from stock "glass" tubes is pretty substantial, actually. The entire soundstage opens up and becomes wider and more lively. There's a very specific "life-like" sound to everything that, with stock fuses, sounds just a bit veiled and soft.

Honestly, I did not believe in the magic of fuses either until I heard it for myself. In my analytical mind, volts and amps are just volts and amps, and a tiny fuse should be irrelevant. But it's not. I wish I could quantify it, but I can't. I just hear the difference, and it's pretty dramatic in this DAC. YMMV.

Please note, if you're using 110/120v, you need to replace BOTH fuses, if 220v, then just one fuse. Search this thread for details. It's around page 40 or so.

Also, Synergistic Research is running a "buy 2, get 1 free" sale right now, so...bonus!

Thanks for your advice.
I‘ll figure it out, as soon as i got the unit.

Fuse problem? Get a DAC without fuse. Apparently some brands ?require? 'audiophile' some other do not.

Nobody said there was a problem.

If you want a DAC without a fuse, go with Denafrips, which also sound fantastic.

No, it's perfect, but but this way is better )

Disagreed - without fuse sounds better.

If doubt, move a fuse from inside enclosure to a male plug like on the (attached) photo. BTW, it is a plug for the original IBM equipment, made in UK for South African market.

[EDIT] Only now a photo shows up. Still original fuse!!!

Have you solution for Dell equipment made for Zimbabwe marker )

Thanks for sharing. Nothing beats experiments we do on our own! As for fuses, indeed these devices can make a noticeable difference particularly in digital components.

Never have been in Zim. However many years ago someone from Zim attempted to buy from me advanced Ethernet switches, don't know why from me and how they found me, I only had a consulting business, not a wholesale.

By the way moving a fuse outside is a brilliant idea. Why no one follows?
Not better business to sell expensive fuses?

...or other companys DACs?

Dude, we get it. You don't like Musician and like to hawk your own company's wares. Some of us are not interested. Take your negativity to a different thread. We're interested in constructive feedback here.
