Default SOLD: ChainTech AV-710 (Regulator, PSU and output mods)

SOLD

Hey guys,

I was testing out a few modded PC transports and since I have switched to BNC, I'm letting this one go. It's a budget leader, no question about it.

It offers bit-perfect optical S/PDIF and boasts a great Wolfson WM8728 DAC in 2-channel mode.

I modded the card with better regulator pre and post regulator caps, bootstrapped the 3.3V regulator to 5V regulator, upgraded DAC power caps and replaced output caps with Muse ES bypassed by Vitamin Q.

It's an awesome budget card for 2-channel analog and bit-perfect digital output.



The card is ONLY $55 including shipping and PayPal fees.
