    Not when you get it, it must be done on arrival.

    They are pretty thorough over there at ASR.

    Maybe quality control needs a smacked arse

    The noise is very low, you'd be doing well to be able to hear its effect. Their only criticism seems to be that it is not perfect. But it's a hundred bucks from China so not really a big deal.

    Agreed, why so many mains harmonics I don't know.
    The psu arrangement is very traditional, transformer, bridge rectifier, smoothing cap then into two chip regulators.

    Yup, I understand your POV on it. That's where I ended up after a few days of listening.

    I must try a dcb1 build Ollie but I think I've let my passive khozmo put me off a bit.

    Need to try one in my system somehow before I start shelling out on bits.

    If you were a bit closer I'd have brought it round for you to try

    Not sure there is anyone local to you with one but they can be built cheaper than I built mine for. I just went all out lol
