The $800 Modification Includes:
1. Cleaned up noise from fuse.
2. Eliminated a distortion producing part from the AC line.
3. Eliminated the 110/220 Volt switch and connector.
4. Hardwired wires from input of transformer and twisted them.
5.
Mounted the toroidal transformer on hardwood (glued down) and secured
with plastic screw and nut and eliminating the steel bolt, nut and cover
and isolating it from the steel chassis.
6. Hardwire the secondaries of transformer to custom hand made damped diode bridges eliminating cheap diode bridges.
7. Damped power supply caps and regulator heat sinks.
8. Changed cheap regulators to modified super low noise discrete low impedance regulators.
9. Changed caps on output of above regulators to much better ones.
10. Eliminated inductors from the power supply lines.
11. Changed caps on output of 3.3V power supplies for the DAC.
12. Installed better sounding heatsinking on DAC chip.
13.
Remove entire output stage and replace with modified discrete output
stage using state of the art resistors and filter caps......this stage
is direct coupled....no coupling caps. If you want single ended output
only then I parallel all DAC channels for best sound (SSE.....Super
Single Ended).
14. All wire for output stage power supplies and
inputs and outputs are hand made pure copper in damped cotton.....and
installed in the correct sonic direction (very, very important).
15. Modified Wima .33 poly prop caps used as bypass caps in output stage power supply.
16. Change clock on DAC to low jitter "femto" clock.
17. Digital input board completely isolated from steel chassis and only grounded through its ribbon cable.
18. Ribbon cable from the digital input board damped with cotton braiding.
19. Digital input board and brass struts damped.
20.
Eliminated a distortion producing part on the coax digital input and
changed the coupling cap on the coax input to a modified Wima.
All mods 1-16 affect all modes of playback. 17-20 only effect spdif and usb playback.
