I’m not able to compare my gatorized Caimans to DACs from other manufacturers, but the fixed line out volume of this model definitely is louder than the volume of Stan’s TC-7520 and the Caiman without Gator PCB.
Thanks Werner. That worries me... Is there some way I can check that I do have a Gator upgrade installed in the Caiman+ (without resorting to use of a screwdriver)?
