Hotrodding the X-Fi: A Layman's Guide (No 56k)
Anyone have an answer? -> I saw Apoc saying that the current LM4562NA's from National aren't good to use anymore on the X-fi anymore? Is this true? I just ordered some Samples from National for my PCI-E X-Fi Titanium. I used the same samples 2 years ago on my Xtreme Music. In...- ReTiCuLe

I haven't found any broken traces. What looks wrong? Nothing is crossing over or touching with the meter. This is the old card btw. the Xtreme Music. Bichi perhaps if I solder where the oAMP legs are right now on the board and put them to the corisponding caps instead that would help? Also...- ReTiCuLe

Sigh. Only sound in the Left ear once again. Could it be Vista to cause only sound in the left ear? I read somewhere this mod isn't vista friendly a while ago.- ReTiCuLe

I'm interested to know which oAMP is best for Headphone's as well. Currently using Audio Technica ATH-A700's most comfortable can's I've ever owned while sounding great 8).- ReTiCuLe

Thanks Random & Bichi. Now that all my questions are answered I'm going to give the old card a whirl later on, after work. Btw, how fragile are the oAMPs to static electricity? I've never wore a wrist band soldering psx's, xbox's back in the day and actually had something fail on me.- ReTiCuLe

yeah i'm going to do that first. I'm going to order some more samples. I'm down to my last one :|. from the photo I linked does it look repairable ? The solder spash next to pin 1 I can't seem to get that off the board with de-solder braid. It's not touching the Pin 1 though or the cap...- ReTiCuLe

Thanks bichi. I bought the X-fi XtremeGamer Fata1ity Pro. Should I mod this instead with the oAMP? I'd be starting fresh. now if i could find smaller clippers than the ones I currently have. Which clippers would you recommend? Also would that card work? Do you have MSN,AIM or something...- ReTiCuLe

Codt, is the sound still noticeably better without ERS Paper? I haven't gotten ahold of any yet. If I could live without it for a bit with better sound I'd start modding .- ReTiCuLe

That ERS Paper, should it be adhesive or non-adhesive? I'm guessing Adhesive O_o. Also I'm considering using the 2200uF Kyyu caps I found in the old Antec PSU I have, should I? One of them has brown crap on top... Weird since it worked the powersupply.- ReTiCuLe

I was bored and had some old PSU's and a PS2 powersupply around and here's what I found. I found a fuhjyyu 2200uF 16v Capacitor two of them in my Antec PSU, that was in working condition till I tore it apart . I also found in my PS2 a 1100uF 16v Capacitor that looks clean, forgot the name...- ReTiCuLe

The U.S. Sites I emailed in this thread about purchasing ERS paper and a capacitor, gave no response yet :S. Can Radio-shack order this for me or possibly can I buy a similar Capacitor and ERS paper at Radioshack? Thanks, - ReT- ReTiCuLe

If you could be so kind to spare a free sample, I'd be delighted. If not, can you possibly link me to the exact page to order the LM4562 SOIC Sample? I found a page, but it has slightly different product listed.- ReTiCuLe
