Ive heard of a few of you modding your Entech DACs. Can somebody give me a rundown of the mods to be done? If you have any instructions or schematics Id greatly appreciate it. Im bored and in the mood to tinker

. This is my first DAC and I really love how it sounds. Also, where would I get the parts to upgrade?

There was a thread a few days ago regarding opamp rolling in the Entech, but I have not seen much else.

Then why mod it?

The OpAmp in the Entech is an OPA2134PA, but it is NOT socketed, and I do not have any dip8 sockets handy to put in here for rolling the opamps.

Too bad as I have a few opamps here that I could try.

I ordered the necessary parts from one of Head-Fi's sponsors:-

They were extremely helpful.

Sorry to revive an old thread.

Does anybody happen to know the output impedance of the entech 203.2 DAC?

I'm thinking about putting a passive volume control between it and an adcom 535 power amp for a desktop speaker system. The entech certainly has plenty of output volts, but it would be nice to have an idea of its output impedance in case it was not within "normal" range.

Yea I have some leftover browndoqqed AD8620s... I think I'm going to roll it in soon and report back... If it survives the operation that is...
