I used the attentuators with my Hiface to great success. I ended up with 10db at Hiface end and 15db at the DAC end. What I noticed most was a deeper soundstage, more "air" around instruments and a more relaxed sound from my DAC. Brushes and cymbals took on a much more realistic sound, a lot closer to analog.Then i went completely craxy and mounted my Hiface inside my DAC connecting it directly to pcb, thus eliminating the RCA/BNC/Cable dilemma!!! So....    now I have 3 attentuators I'm not using. A 6db, a 10db, and a 15db.
If anyone can use them and wants to have them, send me a PM.

Can you provide any details on the second mod you did? I want to identify what some of those boards are that you used... what are the dual crystal boards achieving?
Any information would be appreciated.

Great job. 

 
Could you describe the things you've done for those of us who are not so electronically inclined.
 
Thanks
