Shanling ET3 transport: anyone changed or upgraded the fuse

I'd been planning on getting a Shanling ET3 transport.  I have a Bel Canto CD3t already and have heard very significant improvements and change in sound character by using different fuses (slugs).  I didn't see a fuse holder on the back of the Shanling so contacted MusicTeck about this and received the following message they got from Shanling:   "Fuse is inside and would require complete disassembly of the device, voiding any warranty".   So far, this has been a deal-breaker for me.  Just wondering if anyone has opened up this transport and can comment on the difficulty of swapping out the fuse?  Thank you.

It is/was on my list to replace my much enjoyed Audiolab CDT 6000 until...

I put VeraFi Audio Very Black Hole isolation footers under it. $199/4. I placed 3 under the 6000, one directly under the spindle where I suspect the more bad vibs emanate.

They also sell a cool fuse system that's worth looking into, among many other interesting and reasonably priced products ie class A amps, subwoofers...

I just purchased the ET3 after watching reviews on YouTube by reviewers I value. 
The transport works very well in my setup with Denafrips DDC, DAC, pre amplifier and ATC active speakers. I am really enjoying listening to CDs again after years of streaming. 
What works best for me: over sampling 4x and connect via optical.
