Hello all ~ Last week a friend send me 2 Russian pio caps to try for the digital input cap , while i was modding them i saw this Mundrof silver oil 0.47uf sitting at the power filter by-pass doing nothing ( i using outboard power supply ) so i couldn't resit and give it a go for the digital...

yeah black lead on ground and red lead goes to center pin and play a sinewave from foobar2k .. add location \ tone://80 , should give a steady reading .

I just measure from the rca plug , i keep the dac on 24/7 tho .

Is that 3.7v ac ? sound really high , i measured my from the rca + , - and got less than 2v ac .

Hello I passed the 220 bg at the lt1084 with a .22 m-cap mkp getting very good result .

I put 1uf bg np at first then switch to 0.22uf m-cap mkp from left over.

Hi all I swapped out that blue 0.47 cap next to the Lt 1084 heat sink and got some improvement in highs and stage

HI Are those caps leads shielded ? looks like they shorted to the case in the 2nd picture .

oopss don't have a camera with me :P

Did the SSOM Mod to night : ) get a better picture and little more details too , i don't have silver wire with me so i chopped up a pair of old UE custom cables for the mod seems not bad .

Anyone done the SSOM mod on the 09 dac yet ? Can show us some photo please , ie where's the dac chip ground is ? thx ~

Cut the wire from the board to the rca plugs and use your output caps link it between resistor and the rca out put plugs .

very easy todo 10mins can finish :P

Ok u guys have got me ~ just done the bypass filters mod . and it worked for me ,got about same result as rhodes54 with much wilder sound stage too ^^

Hi Swapped out those 3 power cap with BG 1000uf /25v @@ (bought the wrong type but what to do :P ) now i can't close the top cover anymore . while i was doing the power caps i measure them and seems to link together , so do they count as 3000 uF ? so maybe we can have something bigger at the...

Hi Bill Hi everyone Thx for the tips i used those photo u post for reference and they really help me out . Next i gonna try the super E setup which should be easy enough for me to do since i leaved some length at the output cap legs hehe but the question is will BG n 33/16 x 2 too much for...

HiHi Haha i did it ~ swapped the output caps to BG np 33/16 and the power cap to BG 220/16 , took me 2 hours just to did that , not too bad for first timer a =P
