In my amplifier, I replaced the stock (and dirty old) fuses (4 out of 7 so far) with SR Blue and I went one notch over (5A to 6.3A, 400 mA to 500 mA). It is important to respect at least the fuse timing, ie, fast blo or slow blo. It was reported on some other sites that some users had problems with blown fuses when using the same value as stock fuses. Some SR dealers even do recommend going up one notch to avoid this. As for my part, never had a problem doing this but I don't abuse the system and don't push it to the limits.
For a DAC or a BDP however, I am not totally sure as I tend to believe that the demand is not as high when compared to an amplifier for example. I am currently debating if going with the same values or going up one notch for my Bryston BDA-3 and BDP-2. But I tend to lean toward a higher rated fuse, especially for the DAC.
EDIT:
Some users claim that a higher rated fuse actually sound better but I have never tried this myself.
