Q: 9. Can someone please tell me if this clamp is raised high enough to be placed on a flat surface without the knob getting in the way? I have the DAC-38, and I hate how the locking knob sticks out.

A: No. If you place the clamp on a flat surface, the bottom edge of the knob hits the table and raises the clamp slightly - not by much, but you enough to certainly impede tightening it. You must position it to stick out beyone the edge of whatever you are mounting it on. I also have a larger DAC-X1 and it is the same (worse, actually), although with the way I use them it doesn't matter,
