how does the power supply in this thing look?

Funny but they are using the boards which don't really work.  It was the first draft I did off the multi amp and way too many issues with that one.  I also love the small shit that just cracks me up, see the XLR/RCA switch...how they extended the solder terminals to make it a PCB switch?    Also the XLR sockets aren't pcb mount but who cares, just bridge it all with solder...   My biggest issue would be the unshielded transformer but for this price...sheesh.

Is that price correct? 21euro/24USD? The enclosure alone is a steal at that price!

About 450 usd

450 USD for the that TaoBao Dynalo MKII?

[dcpoor]

plus shipping, not sure if there's any other fees.

[spritzer]

IF you use a deputy service then there are fees on top of that.

Those cool kids on headfi would still buy the Liquid Carbon over this amp.  SAD!

[wink]

Yep, they're so cool that they're numb to what good sounds like.....

Well, looks like the cool kids can still buy some sort of liquid carbon...

Ohhh goody...more shit for me to buy and take apart.

Design aside, it's pretty scary that build quality is likely better on that then the real Cavalli amps!

Specifically came for checking Cavalli given the following Liquid Carbon had, now that its been off since 2016. Looks like its not very popular in this forum atleast for good reasons.
