www.audiocarsnstuff.wordpress.com is more like it....

If some of you are still interested in the X6 I made an artical about my experience with it so Ill be happy to shere it with you guys www.audiocarsnstuff.wordpress.com check it out there will be more articles on other audio and car related stuff!

I read here and there that some of the Fiio mp3/lossless players are pretty good for what you are describing... so you might want to check some of Fiio products that offer PC-Dac and mp3 combo. I on the other hand have no personal experience with the devices

Forgot to ask you are talking about the dac or the headphone amp? I dont like the headphone amp part... I have one of these mini usb dacs with PCM2704 chip inside.... For headphones it sounds much better in my opinion

Depending on your speaker setup, you might find it bright sounding... My speakers are very warm sounding and I still replaced the opamp with OPA2604 to make it sound warm... I do think that makes more difference than the DAC chip itself.

You are welcome... I know what you mean by that.... I got pluged in PC, monitor, amp, DAC and active subwoofer :D

The power sopply works... But if you ask me it isso badly made that I personaly do not feel comfortable to keep it plugged all the time for safety reasons.... The inside "branded" capacitora are fake in my opinion so that is why I replaced mine... I do believe it sounds cleaner now...but that...

Yes it will work and yes you need to haveit pluged in order for it to work. Use RCA cables to connect it to any amplifier... In this case the volum nob is irrelevant (it is only for the headphone amp)

"4.735v" voltage? I dont understand the question

Update.... After some time with all thr new capacitors and the OPA2604... I think it works without a problem.... The sound is clear and warm (previously I had some issues with the audio software so they might pointed me of thinking that the problem was op-amp releated.. But I guess not! I have...

If you check previous posts of mine and you will see what I changed and with whatI changed it with. No point of repeating myself :)

Thank you Eujin, you are correct for the difficult of finding "before" "after" sound... For now I will ceep this configuration.. In the futureI might take your advice and change some off these capacitors for a bit bigger ones as you did. And for the record i could notfind any schematic eather...

Final upgrade.. 4.7 uf capacitors replaced with Nichicon FW series... Nothing special but still bette then the original... Not sure if I find a difference in audio lol... Anyways finnished the plan! Cheers!

GouryellaIV itis a good device.. Better DAC than headphone AMP in my opinion but good nevertheless.

Eujin do you have an idea, are the 4.7 uf capacitors in the line level (RCA) signal path? I just received the new ones and will change them in few hours but I am not actualy sure will they do something for the DAC or only the AMP? Thank you in advance!

Thank you for your input! My device closes perfectly... and on the headphone amp note... I guess I have made "estetic" upgrade with these capacitors because I dont use the AMP :) anyways you are right, this thing sounds very good for the price!

I have checked the Tube 01.. looks cool but for now I`ll try not to spend any more money because I already spent the price of the DAC on cables upgrade capacitors and power supply lol.. so now it costs me about 100$ with all the upgrades...

To be honest I have no idea... That is why I changed the capacitors with the same values as the one originally used, hoping to gain something with the use of better components (as for the 1000 uf caps I used `em because I was certen that they are for power supply but that was a guess.. I am...

I have read it... well not the full article.. I know I am doing stupid things with the op-amps but still In comparison there is a major difference between opa2134 and opa 2604 in some departments.. one being stereo separation.. the 2604 reproduces the recording much better sepperating L and R...

Interesting.. By the way I got the OPA2134 back in... I thi k thatthe OPA2604 distorts dueto low voltage... As for the 470 vs 1000 I can clearly see tha path after the on/off switch so I am pretty sure that they are used for power supply probably both the headphone amp and the line level RCA...

Hey guys I got the same device And I use it as a DAC only. I made some upgrades like replacing capacitors and replacing the opamp with OPA2604. But I would like to ask how can I determine the votage that gets to the Opampand can I it be raised.... Since the opa2604needs a bet more power then...

TME stands for Transfer Multisort Electronics. They are located in Poland

1000 ones are 16v, theother ones are 25v. 16v or higher is perfectly fine. Just keep in mind thr size. If you are from europe I recommend tme.eu they are the biggest electrical components supplier for europe so no fakes there.

All the capacitors are polarized, except the 10 uf. They are Bi-Polar... ordered by mistake to be honest but there is no problem using Bi-Polar capacitor in the place of Polarized one.. in some cases they might perform worse than Polarized but in this case I think it sounds great... Plus that...

I see your point.. anyways I am an optimist :D
