^^^THanks a lot!!!

Any idea if the Neutrik Powercon connector will accept 10 gauge if I don't use the back piece that screws on?

What about the component side that screws to the backplate, can I use 10 or 8 gauge to that?  Where do I find high quality 8 and 10 gauge wire?

The Neutrik will accept 10 gauge and you can use all the parts.Probably won't matter on amp side connection but you can use up to 8 guage. All this is based on dodd class-d amp with 12 volt battery, and separate wire to tube buffer and as buffer only draw 1/2 amp max according to Gary the 14 gauge should be more than big enough.

So I help myself and borrow a single picture of Dodd Buffer:

Mariusz, where did you get that picture?  It shows the Buffer sitting on top of my buddy Jim's purpleheart feet.  I wonder if there is a picture of the MacSandwich?

Thanks,

Dave

I didn't take the picture. I wasn't even at the RMAF show. But yeah, it looks like it.

That is quilted maple with a natural oil finish on it.  Mine are the same and freakin' gorgeous.

 Question guys.
I know this is all hypothetical, but tell me if you think a Dodd Buffer would be good in my situation:

 So I've got an Emotiva ERC1 player, and I'll be getting soon the XDA-1 DAC. My plan now is to run ERC-1 and whatever else I get into (PC audio, etc) into the XDA-1 and the XDA-1 directly into the amplifier.

The XDA-1 apparently works really well straight into the amplifier and outputs 12Volt peaks and I think like 2 amps. It's supposed to sound really nice.

 However, it has a digital volume control. Now while nobody knows how well theirs is implemented, do you think that by placing a Dodd Buffer between the XDA-1 (just turn it all the way up) and the amp, that I could get... even better sound?

So ERC-1 -> XDA-1 -> classD amp



or ERC-1 -> XDA-1 - > Dodd buffer -> classD amp?
