A little off your thread, but very important if you want to get all that's possible out of an MF XDAC v3.
First it really needs the external MF PSU v3 to sound it's best, I'd say you'll get about 80 percent out of it with the stock wall wart.
Second, you really need to upgrade the power cord from the PSU to the DAC. I like Revelation Audio Labs cord for this.
Finally, the addition of a MF X10v3 tube buffer really sets this whole set-up off. This is often refered as the tripple threat.
I run this set-up and haven't found anything I like better.
If you haven't heard the DAC in the tripple threat you really haven't heard it. IHMO
