Replace LM1117 with 78XX regulator

Aug 21, 2010 at 11:06 AM Post #47 of 49
the aune/hifidiy mini usb dac, with the mods so far, is sort of unbelievable. with the burson regulator supplying 18v to the board and burson opamp, and a separate psu for the burson clock, which has it's own regulator, it's just plain amazing.
 
clarity, dynamics, imaging, tone - not even remotely similar to the stock unit.
 
just the 3 regulators, KA7808/LM1117 -5/LM1117 -3.3, to replace now. i'll probably use dexa, as they have the correct values.
at this level, they make a substantial difference. no hurry to order them, delivery is slow anyway, and i still haven't sorted out how i'll mount all this stuff :)

hey Steve, yep, it's a blast. this is quite an improvement over the st, in every regard, and much easier to work on.
no drivers!
 
burson modified aune :)
 
it was Jack @ burson that turned me on to elna rsf. with the other components upgraded, the elna's and burson opa
come into thier own. this thing sounds great, & gets better after 50hrs..



Do you mean the ST computer soundcard?
 
Anything else you can compare it to?
