I mounted 2 single v5i inside the DAC, while it sounds great, I’m disappointed about the crackles I can hear while turning the volume know, which only happens with the v5i opamps, not the one provided with the DAC. Plus, there’s not enough room to fit 2 single burns flat enough, I should have taken the dual one, but after asking the sales department they told me it should be okay…
