The basic unit is a silver CD-E5 (120v), with the latest configuration
internals (similar the the new black Signature Edition).
It has been modded with:
a. LCAudio X03 ultra low jitter clock;
b. LCAudio Zapfilter MK II fully discrete, true balanced high performance output stage, takes the balanced signal straight off the DAC, uses top quality components (no op amps or caps in the signal path). Includes a dedicated high performance power supply with toroidal tranfsormer.
c. Fairchild Stealth hexfred diodes in the digital PSU. Analog PSU disconnected, Zapfilter has its own high performance PSU.
The caps in the PSU are actually very good (3300uf Elna Silmic II with bypassing caps) so I did not replace them.
The result: Improved highs, smoother and more transparent, 3D soundstage, dynamics, attack, slam and deeper more controlled bass. The machine easily beats my Denon 3910 and the Rega Apollo. The sound is absolutely incredible, really a high end source.
The mod covers both the unbalanced RCA, and the balanced outputs.
The E5 unit is in perfect condition, and comes with remote, extra feet for E5, manual w/zipper case, Xindak silver fuse installed and two extra fuses, and IEC power cable.
