i recently received a modded ART DIO, one of the mod was the removal of a small mica cap from the digital input for sound purity.
however, because of the removal, the DIO can not lock with the Arcam cdp, though it does works flawlessly with the pioneer DVD player!
i tried with much success, adding a ceramic cap. valued 331, 1000pf and 0.1uf. all three worked as expected. I also noticed a dramatic drop in loudness(and maybe quality, not sure)
questions:
1. would it br correct to assume that the lower the capacitance the less effect it would have on the signal quality??
2. are there any difference between the large disc cap, small disc cap and the squarish ceramic type?
3. where do i get quality caps in Sydney, Australia!
i only know jaycar, dicksmith..
