i install the 6 hi-q caps the night before and spend sometime listening to it.. it seems clearer and the sound has better decay... i just did the ps caps change today and straight away i notice it improves the sound by quite an amount.., from the first few mins of listening, the sound is much fuller and energetic (afterwards it starts to sound muddy, most prob due to the lack of burn-in, same as what i get from the x-fi mod i did months ago where the sound sounds muddy but after a few months i'm surprised by the clarity and hi-def sound)...

the big cap i use is the standard bg 16v 470uf... it seems to be the only 1 that can fit in the case...

I always notice that the new caps will sound good right off and then the sound goes muddy for a while and then as the cap forms (or caps) the sound slowly comes back and gets better. This is with Black Gates and has happened in most everything I have ever installed them in. The HiQ are great caps. Too bad nothing is like BG.

Wow I found that the LT1364 works pretty well in the LR slot. I've even got a few left over if any of you want to try it out.

I think more people should try the AD797 like I have...

Yes, but they are pretty expensive.

I got four AD797 and two 2:1 adapters for around $50 on ebay.

One set is in my iBasso, and the other will go in my PIMETA to see if they are better than the AD744 that are already in it. If not a huge change, I'll then try it in my Headstage Lyrix in place of the AD8397.

What is the difference between LTC6241HV and LTC6241IS?

I personally found it warmer and better bass. (from stock)

The LT1364 is also the standard opamp in the new iBasso P2.

How does the amp section of this compare to the Minibox E or Mini3?

Is anyone aware of a socketed SOIC-8 to DIP-8 adapter ? Soldering SOIC opamps is a bit of a challenge for folks without much soldering experience such as myself. If there's a socketed SOIC-8 to DIP-8 adapter, I'd be all over it. Anyone aware of one ?

SOIC opamps have no legs to plug into an adapter. SOIC opamps need to be soldered onto an DIP adapter or directly onto a circuit board.

There are so many comparisons already, even one by Skylab. Just do a search.
