I can only find the audiophile ones. Would you kindly show me where
I
can get one a lot cheaper than that?

£ 3.63 including VAT.

You just need to wire that to the plug on your DAC or to the item
which
causes the glitch, or just to a plug and plug it in to the mains strip
the
DAC is on or the offending item . I had the same problem with a fridge
many
years ago, and one of these fixed the problem perfectly.

Illegal to fit that except INSIDE equipment by a professional. Would
invalidate any house insurance.

See the 'Low Voltage Directive'.

Thanks for that. I did it when the EU was still called the Common Market,
and EU directives were a distant gleam in a bureaucrat's eyes. Worked
fine
though.


You'll have to remove it now though if it's external !

That was many years ago, two fridges have been and gone since then. However,
it doesn't need a foo box costing hundreds to do the job.
