I'm pretty close with the SurgeX, I want to make sure it's thoroughly tested. I have a couple of them built and running right now, one with the GTX receptacles and UPOCC copper wiring, and one with the PCX receptacles and stock wiring, but in both of them I replaced well over a dozen steel push connectors with gold-plated copper and they both got new electrolytic capacitors.
One thing that caused a hold-up was the long break in of the Furutech receptacles, I rigged up a way to get them on my cable burner so it should eliminate this issue, but the rhodium plated GTX receptacles take a LONG TIME to break in!
Also, footers make a huge difference so they will probably come with 2 sets of footers to help tune the SurgeX to match the system it's in.
Finally, I am thinking of a wood stand that would hold the SurgeX vertically, in that configuration it could be placed behind an equipment rack rather than in the rack.
xsb, thanks for the heads-up on the Bottlehead DAC thread, another one of my customers has been waiting for it to become available too, it seems this DAC has a following before it was done!
