Hi and thanks a lot for the very valuable reply
I do not understand the circuit ... one regulator and two diode bridges ?
Then i would try to connect the DC socket to the cap feeding this regulator ... but i see 4 blue caps ... which one is the possible docking point ?
Just to solder a two wires cable to its terminal and it should be done. Am i wrong ?
And in this way there will be two stages of regulation in series, for an even lower resulting noise. Very low.
I am quite sure i will do the mod after measuring the voltage on the caps.
Thanks again, gino
I myself would (and will) go for external feeding XO's with ultra low noise psu.
You can order the 0.8uV ultra low noise from DIYINHK, as earlier posted. It is a double version and needs 2 seperate 6~ to 8~ Volt transformer ( transformer 6Vx2 15VA).
If you doing so, also replace the stock XO's (which aren't bad at all). Just put them on a socket and configure that socket to receive its GND and Power from 0.8uV psu.
Please be aware to jumper the 0.8uV psu to 3.3V output before connecting everything.
I have the components at hand to install 0.8uV psu, only need one 2x6V~ transformer which will fit in MX-U8.
Btw, if placing 0.8uV noise psu, be aware that the stock Panasonic caps won't fit in enclosure MX-U8. You need lower profile caps.
The 0.8 uV ultra low noise psu ( http://www.diyinhk.com/shop/audio-kits/73-08uv-ultralow-noise-dac-power-supply-regulator-33v5v-1ax2.html ) has 2x Panasonic FC 5600uF-25V with a hight of 40mm.
I advise replacing them with Nichicon HW series 4700uF-25V ( UHW1E470MHD ) with a hight of 31,5mm
You could try 5600uF-25V ( UHW1E560MHD ) with a hight of 35,5mm, but I'm not sure if it will fit.
There's not much room to place this psu, best is to remove faceplate and mount psu on its top (top of the caps) at bottom plate, and fix it with some "construction kit".
Be sure you can connect the wires after mounting the pcb, and be sure you don't short circuit anything,,,,,
I will post some pictures when starting this mod.
Cheers
