Just a note on the cap rolling, since DA-131 does not have caps in the signal path, it does not have the two big-o cap that DA-151 have. That's one of the reason that the detail increase is achieved.
If you would like to try some cheap and easy rollings, fuses is one of the things that people try and seems to work in some situations. (Like generally slow blow seems to work better than fast blow in terms of sonic performance.) If you can find good quality fuses like Littlefuse or Bussman, they are cheap and generally good sounding.
(I know, those people who were after me on the cable thread might be after me again for saying the fuse could affect sound...)

I was skeptical about going with the 131 just for the 24/192 capabilities....but Im currently listening to 24/96 vinyl rip of Aja by Steely Dan...and its amazing..so clean clear and dynamic! Perfectly content....just waiting on the acoustical engineer now to finish off the listening room/studio... Cheers! |
