Finally received my nut today, and it would not recognize my TF card (fat 32, clean mp3s or wavs) - just yellow light (not blinking).  Newer 32gb class 10 formatted Fat32.  Thought it was broken.  Finally tried a different TF card and it worked.
 
What does the "hold" switch do?

  better than "blowing one up" like I did last night, slow  delay in volume startup then gradually worse each time then nothing haha. Oh well.
 
Wrecking mine I don't mind, but sorry to hear about yours though.

Just got mine fixed.  One of the 100ohm resistors near the headphone output was bad.  My employees Father had the resistor at his shop and replaced it for me.  I think it was bad from the get go cause I noticed that the vocals would sit off slightly to the right, and not in the center like it should.  Sounds way better now and even louder than it was before.

It disables the three buttons, so you won't accidentaly click them when using nut as an amp.

I want to gauge interest for me selling modded walnuts.
 
Costs breakdown will be $25 profit for my manual labor and time obtaining and testing parts, on top of costs for shipping, base walnut unit and mod parts you pick (capacitors and opamps) and Japan Alps volume potentiometer + Aluminum vol knob.
 
I will help you select the parts based on info you provide me such as what genres of music you like and what headphones you use.
 
Total cost would depend on the parts you select, could start at $50, or end up at over $100+ if your going for the best of the best.
 
Even though the price may get near to other more fancy daps, I can promise you a well modded walnut will have something special that none of those daps have, with the right pairing (koss portapro anyone?), a well modded walnut will take any dap for a ride regardless of price.
 
Any takers? 
 
I won't be modifying your existing walnut's, I'm not interested in keeping track of who sent what etc. You will have to purchase a brand new modded walnut from me (I will provide base walnut at a heavy discount, around $20, only for modding).

Awesome. Friends, if anyone is interested, please give my comment a thumbs up or post your interest, I am trying to get hard numbers asap so I can make a bulk order of walnuts and parts to mod for you.

Can anyone please compare this with fiio a3 as a headphone amp?Which one will be better as a headphone amp?

Anyone having any luck with the Muses op amps?

I tried Muses01 and 02, both nice, in the upper echelon of opamps. But in walnut I actually prefer the several AD's we have discussed, by a decent margin I might add.

I finally tried a larger cap for the 1000uf, I tried Sanyo WG 2200uF 25v, compared to the Rubycon ZL 1000uF 16v, I'm hearing deeper bass, more bass impact, softer treble, slightly pulled mids, but overall quality of the sound is surprisingly decent, so again I can recommend going large capacitance for bassheads.
 
Overall though I prefer the airyness of the Rubycon though, so next up I'm trying a 2200uF Rubycon ZL 25v, hoping for the best of both worlds 

 I will tear out the usb port and make a hole in the rear to get that 12.5x35mm to "fit" in the stock case

Were you gonna replace the microUSB plug with a dc in jack or somethin?
Thanks for the Sanyo impressions, I always appreciate bass talk

It's a good idea, nick thought about relocating the usb port, I might try it at some point, but not anytime soon lol.

Were the rest of the caps stock?

No, was tested in the oscon walnut I showed recently.

Thought we'd have heard some new impressions by now, from some of the new Walnut owners who were waiting for stock after the Chinese new year..Anyone got theirs yet?
