Well, looks like I am a sort-of Caiman owner now - Stan has put one aside for me for when I can sort out a delivery - Fantastic Stuff !
Cheers All for the advice that has got me to this place and all without ever having even seen a DAC !

Well done Steve, pretty much the same for me, but don't worry, it won't hurt a bit - definitely the single biggest improvement in my system, especially opening up the possibility of hifi from a computer. Enjoy!

Interesting to see how many of us have blind faith in Stan('s PSU) since I can't recall reading in what way it improves the Caiman sound.
Maybe a little hint Stan?

First of all, this is to inform you guys and girls (yep there are many female owners of my DAC as well), that the 50 subsidized pieces have now been reserved by 50 eager potential owners.
As for the point that Steven raises, I shallL
1. Send out a sample to a trusted Caiman owner and unrepentant box swapper whose reputation is spotless and unquestionable as far as testing and reviewing audio products is concerned.
2. Send out a sample to a trusted product builder and qualified electronic genius who has modified his TC-7520 to Caiman spec., and whose reputation is spotless and unquestionable as far as testing and reviewing audio products is concerned.
After they have given their two cents, people can decide if they wish to proceed with ordering the Caiman PSU.
Anyone who can guess who the two testers are, let me know and get a chance to win a freebie.
