I'm looking to hire some help in order to mod my 1616M. Below are suggestions, not mine, and some may not pertain to my needs. Here's my purpose for the mods:

1. Improve S/PDIF output to feed ESS Sabre DAC
2. Improve analog stage for vinyl archiving (I just sold my Lavry AD-10 and wouldn't like to step up the 1616M a notch).

I'm considering using a Black Lion Microclock but if we can upgrade the internal crystal and get the jitter down lower than the 500ps or so stated, that would be ideal.

I have NOS vacuum tubes, some gear, or cash for the modder.

thanks
DC

"My suggestion is to mod following things. 1. capacitors 2. regulators ( I think LT chips are good enough ) 3. crystal ( it will be a great improvement ! The question is: where do you set up the TCXO inside your vibrating PC case?) External clock might be a better solution. ( you will need a sync card $79~99) For me, I would rather upgrade 1212M to Lynx AES16 4. The pulse transformer PE65612 will be much better or maybe Lundhal or SC979-01. 5.directly solder a good BNC socket onto the output pins. 6.According to others, EMU did a poor job on their decoupling caps. Find them out and do a correct job will cost a lot of work...
