Sounds like that DAC is really working out for you!

That's really awesome!

I've heard nothing but good things about that company and its products.

Hi Wayne,

Yes, absolutely. I should have previously posted another thought I
have been mulling over.

Since the recording equipment is half the
electronics, how do I know how close to butting up against
the absolute maximum sonic quality of the recording components?

I think I am quite close after adding the all copper single
ended output jacks with Jenalabs wire increased naturalness
a little, but noticeable. Interestingly,

I just made another upgrade, and the sound improvement was not
as apparent. I think I am really really close now, as the sonic
improvement, naturalness should have been larger.


I don't think I am going to try anything else, at least for awhile.

cheers

What capacitors did you replace, specifically?

Were there electrolytics in the power supply?  Or perhaps ceramic, tantalum or electrolytic caps in the analog end of the signal path?

Or were they polypropylene or polystyrene caps, but you changed brands?

Are you into oil-filled caps?

Just curious what you swapped and what you like best.
