Yep, I still have this mod in my sights for when I have money again.

Soon...

I got mine from partsconnexion.com, the official North American dealer and a sponsor here.

is complicated to install? (in 999ES)
I have seen modifications in 9100ES with zapfilter... but not of 999ES (www.sacdmods.com)

the actual wiring only takes a few minutes. the hard part is usually finding a good location to mount it.

Thanks again.

I'll have to see what kind of mess I'd be getting into if I decide to try out one of these things with my Onkyo 1000. I forgot which Wolfson DACs it uses. I'll have to dig into that...

Is this an easy DIY for a non-DIY guy?

How much of a non-DIY guy are you? Are you comfortable soldering, wiring, and doing case modifications (drilling, fastening etc)? The Zapfilter doesn't really come with any instructions, you have to rely somewhat on the experiences of helpful forum members.. A good working knowledge of what a DAC does & how is helpful too. Back before I did the mod I made some project notes, hopefully this could give you a starting place.

Well, at a couple of hours in, it has perked the E5 up on the balanced outs... and really extended the bass, especially on the HE60.

If you use an current ouptput DAC then you will have to use a inline resistors with the signal. The outputs cannot be directly connected to the inputs of the zapfilter. LC audio recommends 33R.

I have some quick questions to those with the current out dacs. What resistance was used inbetween the DAC outputs and the ZAP filter inputs and did you simply connect the ground inputs to the chassis?

 

[Pars]

Current out DACs usually want to see a dead short (virtual ground) on their output, which is why something like a current mirror is usually used in a discrete I/V. Putting resistors in series with the DAC chip outputs isn't going to get you there, unless I'm missing something...

i think i may be blind...do you have a link to it on their site?

 

[SonicDawg]

www.partsconnexion.com

you are welcome

 

[fierce_freak]

lol, thanks. I know the site, I just can't find the zapfilter listed.

 

[SonicDawg]

Go under digital in their product page. And go under the lower left corner of the page for a list of brands.

 

[fierce_freak]

Oh wow, I've never noticed the brand selection menu on that site before. Yeah, I'm blind.
