I have guessed this will ultimately evolve into a hardware mod as a similar business tactic with other DAP. At least this may be more convincing to some than having just firmware modification to improve sound quality, which is placebo to many.
Feels like same tactic as iPod to iMod path again.
Guessing this mod will cost another arm and a leg, and confirm killing the warranty, as well as a drop in resale value.
I am really happy with the official FW 1.0.9 which sounds better than the updated Purist ROM, and keeping my warranty intact and booting without a weird logo.
I am permanently out of this thread.
Good luck.
If it's placebo to many then you shouldn't hear any difference in 1.0.9 firmware at all. You're contradicting yourself here by stating 1.0.9 sounding better and my mod is a placebo. I used to do Purist ROM with 1.0.9 like the topic's name but most free users asked for 1.1.1 to fix wifi wake lock. Maybe you overlooked a few things in this topic to make such comment like that.
I understand it may cost beyond your budget for some serious high quality mods but you don't need to lash out on me like that. You can go buy opamps, caps and stuff and do some DIY work yourself. You can try cooking your own ROM too if you are skilled enough. I'm just giving a warning to newcomers that they should do it with skilled technician as I saw a few people fried their board and send it to my friend who modded mine to fix it.
Also, I don't do overcharge mod OK? Those parts I used are very expensive so don't compare me to iMod where removing capacitors and soldering some wires costing a few hundreds. I couldn't say much since it'll violate ToS but I did this for fun. Do not lump me together with business modding company. That's offensive and I don't appreciate it.
I did this high level mod on my own device and I don't expect people to do this level of modding on sub $500 DAP budget. I always give fair advice to everyone asking about modding hardware too. You can check on DX200 thread and see for yourself. Anyway, I appreciate your feedback. I also think having another amp module for DX200 modded would be a good idea to mod DX200 without voiding warranty as well.
