you guys are really dangerous 
as you now made me aware of looking into switches , this again mean that i probably at some time later this year will have to acquire an AQVox switch and after that probably also a Keces , but my top priority right now is getting my T1 replaced with an T2 , will also have to wait until later this year.

Just got my “GigasnakefOIL V4 “ and “Feces Pee3”.....and.....after an hour of listening to my reference tracks I can say that it’s upped the sq a level or more. Cleaner separation of instruments and bass seems a little more palpable! Yep as everyone said .....well worth the money....more of a difference than a cable upgrade in my book.

I’m taking orders daily for the GigaFoil and Keces.
I believe the GigaFOIL V4 takes a DC 5V 1A input. The KingRex, if I'm not mistaken, has to have a voltage specified when you ordered it from a range of 5V to 13V or higher - what voltage does your KingRex output? If you really have a KingRex 5V output model I'd be surprised it doesn't work.
If you don't know what voltage output you have with the KingRex - check whether it has a label that specifies the output, or the packaging box for it, and what device was the KingRex powering in the past?
If you feed any electronic device a wrong voltage it could be very bad.

I am sure that has provided job security for many a Warranty Technician.

Omg........it keeps getting better and better as it breaks in.....or it could just the double Ginn and tonic ....
Listening to Tom Petty ‘Breakdown” on Tidal MQA release...wow......never sounded this good!

Peter...I have ordered a Keces P3 after all as my attempt to use the KingRex failed. It was powering a Schuerman resonator...The Keces P3 is what i should have ordered first...Oh Well..both the new ethernet cable and Keces should be here this week..dave

I will have to give that a listen. I've yet to hear a digital file of Breakdown that comes close the LP.

I can’t get over how bad most of Tom Petty’s recordings are. This release in MQA on Tidal is finally enjoyable at least.
I have assembled my GigaFOIL v4 and Keces P3 and a WireWorld Starlight ethernet cable..great improvement..For those of you that are using a WireWorld ethernet cable...how much better, if you have compared...is the Platinum version..?..

I have the platinum and like the Sablon cable better.
....jeffy..i put in a 'Revelation Audio' ethernet that i had and it is much better than the Starlight...

A better DC power cord improves the sound as well...
I see a lot of people are using shielded AudioQuest ethernet cable with the the Gigafoil.
However the manufacturer-DJM Electronics, if I understand, is recommending un-shielded, or a tweaked shielded cable:
"The output cable is NOT shielded. During our initial testing, we determined that when no cable was plugged into the output jack, the unshielded cable radiated less than the shielded cable. If you want/need to use shielded cable to your device, you can attach a braided metal shielding sleeve around the threaded output and attach the other end of the shielding sleeve to an exposed circle of shielding on your cable."

Anyone have a specific recommendation for a DC cord?
