In a word, no.

Thanks. That's good to know.

I played around with using either a USB cable and an gender changer with the F-1, or using a USB gender changer from the iUSB 3 and an S/PDIF cable from the F-1 to the Yggy and noticed slight differences, but it was seriously hard to decide which was better.

  Updated Teradak X1 capacitors. To me  have come from Panasonic.

My F-1 doesn't seem to play 192kHz or over (coax), and Bughead emperor won't let me select anything under 352.8kHz for DSD playback.
 
Sergey, I bought the X1/X2 for my first LPS, hope it works well.

I listen to 44.1 / 16 Tidal my Dac Dgicon202 collected by Russian engineers can play up to 192/24. Although the settings you can select midi 768000.0 

 
Many thanks rb2013! Excellent sound F1!

Good idea to feed F1 from Teradak only (without any additional devices). Could you compare the differences in sound quality feeding F1 from USB and from Teradak?

 

[Sergey83149]

I will surely try and will write after warming up of 100 hours! I suspect this question to you better rb2013 will answer.

I have tried every manner of power chain with the F-1 over many months.  The addition of a Recovery or Regen (fed by the TeraDak) adds a much better SQ.  Also the more expensive TeraDak DC-30w with the R-core transformer and pannie caps is better then the X1/X2.
 
I did swap out the caps on one X1/X2 - the generic gray chinese for Nichicon HW super low impedance, high PSRR, to good effect:
 
X1/X2 stock:

 
 
X1/X2 with upgraded Nichicon HW caps:

Thank you !

As a cheaper and portable alternative to the TeraDak LPS - I've had good success powering various gear (the F-1 and the X-1) with this Li Ion Battery:
 
Original XIAOMI 16000mAh Power Bank
 
http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/151679157835?lpid=82&chn=ps&ul_noapp=true
 
$19.  You could buy two and have one on the charger as the other plays.
 
Using one right now to power the LEX end of the ICRON/Startech GB LAN Iso Audio USB entender - I think in this use it sounds better then the stock TeraDak X1.

Anyone looking for an F-1 with enclosure ping me. I have the SU-1 coming as soon as I sell the F-1. It'll be listed tomorrow.

Please post a comparison with the F-1 vs SU-1... keen to see if it's better, particularly via AES if possible?
