Saw this
website when I first got my Yggy since I was curious on possible "enhancements." By-passing the fuse, as suggested there, seems to be pretty crazy. But anyone has tried the "WA Quantum" chips? Tried to look into the "science" behind it but found none.
I kept mine Yggy stock as it, no need to change...
Ever since I heard what the WAQy chips can do, I've been using them on the fuses (and elsewhere) on my dac and amp.
I am very familiar with using tools and 'tweaking' having spent time doing just this on commercial and industrial electronic equipment, so these aren't issues for me.
This ability to dive into the innerds of a device and not do damage or cause further 'problems', is based upon years of experience and may not apply to some folks.
So proceed with caution or enlist the help of someone who is technically oriented to help…
But simple upgrades such as fuses and WAQy chips can and do improve things.
And no I wouldn't recommend hardwiring across the fuse, that is unless you are willing to completely replace the Jggy in case things go horribly wrong, which while rare, can happen.
It is in the nature of a DIY'r to take risks, just be aware of the downsides and take responsibility for making whatever choices that are made.
As for the 'science' behind the WAQy chips, I too have found very little other than a very short simplistic german to english translation of some scant marketing info.
This is strange, in the extreme, in that the company that makes the WAQy chips has near zero information surrounding these little round dots.
The thing is they DO change the sonic output of the devices they are used with, how this is accomplished, what the means and methods used, let alone what the 'science' behind them is, is unknown.
And what with the benefits I hear from using them and to have nothing to explain these changes from the manufacturer, is like marketing in reverse, or marketing from within a black hole, where nothing escapes, is very odd to say the least.
