shock/fire hazard with DAC?

I am interested in buying a Chinese DAC. I am a little concerned with safety in case of manufacturing defects.

Is there any risk of shock/fire with a defective DAC? That is, is there more juice in a DAC than in a VCR?

(My impression is tube amps may have high voltages in them)

Any comments appreciated!

I don't think there is a lot of "juice" in a DAC.

In the meantime, have you considered deep breathing exercises?
