Subbing a 8 amp fuse in for a 1amp fuse in PS/Dac

Any problem going from a 1 amp fuse in my Dac/ Power Supply to a 8 amp fuse?

Have 4 Synergistic 8 amp fuse to use somewhere.

Replacing a blown fuse with a much higher value will often result in the defective part going up in smoke, however it may take other parts with it.

Speaker fuses especially. The damage is done by the time it blows anyway, so I hear. I've not blown an amp fuse in 35 years and done lots of experiments. I would not mess with stuff further up the chain, though.
