    Review of the Little-Dot MKII Tube Headphone Amp/Pre-Amp

    I honestly don't remember but probably yes because there is not so much space and the higher the value the bigger the size of the capacitors.

    Review of the Little-Dot MKII Tube Headphone Amp/Pre-Amp

    Sorry for late reply. I don't have it any more and i have to go from memory but it was an improvement and the ESA capacitors are budget friendly so anyone can try it without overspending. I would start by changing the tubes though.

    Musical Paradise M2-D2 AK4490 Balanced Dac Reviews?

    No it supports up to 96khz. Even if you don't mind the 96khz limitation it is problematic to use anyway. This dac should be used with usb IMHO

    I ordered the AKM 4497 modules. I would like to ask those who have them if there is a right and a wrong way to install them. If you have pictures please share.

    Musical Paradise M2-D2 AK4490 Balanced Dac Reviews?

    Hi Tubeburner. I never had problem using USB with Windows 10. What i said is i could not make the Utility that flashes the firmware to work with Windows 10 but perhaps i didn't say it clear enough. The problem i had was with Coaxial connection, the USB is working like a charm. About the...

    Musical Paradise M2-D2 AK4490 Balanced Dac Reviews?

    After a few days with the MK3, some upgrades and firmware updates the dac sounds amazing, even without proper burn in. Be warned It is very big, almost as big as my Hegel H300 amplifier so plan for it. THE CAPACITORS I replaced the stock capacitors with ClarityCap CSA 3.3 uF. Despite the huge...

    Thank you for the advise. I checked the 2.2 uF Obbligato size and i will get something very close in length. With luck i may have the dac today.

    3.3 uF is just a moderate increase over 2.2 uF. Of course i will order 630v capacitors.

    Musical Paradise M2-D2 AK4490 Balanced Dac Reviews?

    I ordered the MK3, hope it arrives soon. Luckily i have a few NOS Rectifier tubes from my PrimaLuna preamp days. I would like to upgrade the caps, does anyone know the value of the stock Obbligato caps? I mean how many uF are they exactly?

    Review of the Little-Dot MKII Tube Headphone Amp/Pre-Amp

    I have not been using my v2 MKII for long time, something that will change soon since i plan to put it back in the system.   I have already changed 2 small WIMA caps with Clarity Cap ESA but i would like to replace the rest of the caps as well. The problem is the space is very limited so i...

    MHDT Havana DAC

    I am considering to buy a dac from Mhdt but i haven't decided yet which. It is not an easy choice with so many to choose from, however i think Pagoda sounds very interesting. I had a dac with the 1704 chip in the past and i loved the sound of it so i guess i can say i have a positive...

    Amp for AKG K 240 MK II

    Hello from Greece. I have a pair of AKG K 240 MK II headphones and i am looking for a good amp to drive them. Until now i used a Darkvoice Figaro but the sound was just ok with warm mids but rolled off highs and bass was just not there. I love tubes but i hesitate to purchase an OTL amp like...

    Good 12AX7 tube for Metal?

    In my opinion from the many NOS 12AX7 tubes i tested the best for rock/metal is the RFT tubes. Nice dark sound, very balanced and with out the vintage tubey characteristics of many other NOS tubes, plus they are very affordable. As far as i know people with guitar tube amps just love them...
