It reportedly also benefits from an improved 5 volt power supply (Kingrex) and I am also planning supporting it even further with either a Mr T or Purepower.

Have also heard real good things about the Playback by Designs if you have a few more $$$$

Look into Red Wine Audio's Black Lightning external battery power, it'll take your Calyx DAC up a notch or two.
