It takes a few minutes to initially charge up the supercap, then the music just flows out of the DAC with every subtle nuance that I didn't know I was missing. This is real. Before I was using a Chinese 15v linear supply into my SEG Caiman and was very happy with that setup, but once I plugged in the little supercap box there was no going back. Horns, strings, percussion, bass, voice ... all now even more present and substantial in my listening room. I'm sure Stan will have more to say when he gets it ready to market. I hope others will soon be able to enjoy this great music maker as much as I am now. Thanks Stan!!!
I think I want one! :-)
