Mus said:How important is the length of the feed wire connecting the flea to the motherboard? I have seen some professionally upgraded CDPs where the clock upgrade is a considerable distance from the original clock.
Also, once the flea is installed will it still be possible to use an external DAC?

Guido Tent reckons using twisted-pair up to 100-150mm *maximum* is OK
If your CD player has SPDIF output this will work just fine after fitting another clock.
trancera said:Ron : Yes it is going to Pin11 but for now Im going to leave it like that, im a bit of a novice bodger and would like to wait until you have done yours if thats ok, but yes I guess the best way to use the flea is straight into the flip flop (as it is) and straight to the decoder with shoprtest/best cable possible.
Also at the moment my PSU isn't Ideal - its running off an external computer psu with rather a long cable to power the flea. I have had this psu apart before and its just a lil transformer, rect and cap so in a couple of days im going to see if i can squeeze into the left of the Arcam, just want to make sure my flea is reliable first.
Maybe, but I reckon using the 'unused' internal supply to power the flea independantly will dwarf any benefit from not using said supply.I'm not sure that using the internal supply is a good idea. One of the benefits of using external PSU is not to have a transformer working in the CD case
That will work if you swap the 7812 out for a 7809.using the +15V is probably not an option
