    Fuse upgrade for MBS DAC

    I’m about to receive my new MSB discrete dac and pretty excited about it. I have a spare SR purple fuse which I have in my previous dac. It’s a 2A and not a 2.5A as the one coming standard with MSB. Would it work as well? Is the SR purple a good match with the MSB discrete? Thanks for the advice.

    Raspberry Pi as Digital server

    Light Harmonic's latest: decent DSD/DXD on a budget?

    I'm loving this new age of crowd-sourced funding. It seems to be enabling companies like Light Harmonic to determine demand for a product before they build it and get funding for R&D in advance. Light Harmonic, the creators of the Da Vinci Dual DAC, have recently made a few spinoff projects...
