Help! I'm between the JDS Labs cMoy v2.03 and the Fiio E11
Hi. Is it possible for you to buy both of them and try it? That's what I have done. I bought E17 and then BioScienceGeeks cMoy Amp. I chose the cMoy because I prefer the sound of it (more natural sounding to my ears) compared to FIIO where in the treble seems to be a little bit excited (to my ears).- FilipinoAko

The Apple diyMod: My Take on the Famous iMod [56k killer] Featuring 3G, 4G, 5G and nano 1G!
No, your hearing is fine. The iMod or DIYMod really doesn't make any difference. From my experience, I think DIYMod or iMod are all just hype. In my opinion, most people think that they heard something different are just a result of placebo effect especially that they shelled out money and time...- FilipinoAko

This looks interesting. I have one question. You mentioned this on your page "Notice the added 47uf capacitor between AVDD2 & AGND. The will vastly improve the audio quality." I don't see it. Can you blow it up a little bit more?- FilipinoAko

I guess maybe you are right. Probably my setup is not that revealing (poorman's setup). I am seeing some coupling caps like Elna Silmic II, is that a good capacitor compared to Blackgate? I tried to use the search function on head-fi and also can't find any threads comparing 0.47uf caps.- FilipinoAko

Yeah, I am pretty sure and confident that I followed the instructions and the mod was done properly. Yes, I am using the JDSLabs cMoy. I think this is just a hype. Waste of money. It was fun to mod though.- FilipinoAko

The Apple diyMod: My Take on the Famous iMod [56k killer] Featuring 3G, 4G, 5G and nano 1G!
Hello everyone. I have finished my diyMod. I removed the 2 Z caps near the DAC and soldered the wires there. I then soldered the other side of the wires on the 2 small circle pads below the 2 tiny capacitors. I didn't removed the 2 tiny capacitors. Is that OK? If I remove the 2 tiny capcitors...- FilipinoAko

Thanks FallenAngel. Let's say I want to put the BlackGate capacitors inside my iPod. Is this how they will be placed? My black gates are non-polarized. I did a quick and dirty paintbrush to show what I am trying to say. I might have to reroute the wires to the back of the ipod. My apologies...- FilipinoAko
