I have had mine for about 4 months now and really like it can't give comparissons as first one i've had and it replaced a trichord genesis cd player whcih am using as transport, I spend most of the time though using it with my computer (compaq c500, 2 gig ram, running vista) via usb though and with some top quality flac files get the best results, wide sound stage, detail, nice sound - going through a musical fidelity a1000 and quad 57's. Am curious about the fuse comment though pbucci 5261, I'm guesssing goes in the dac and not in the plug, is it easy to put in?
