Probably (since people will mod their TP/SB's anyway) it would be useful to create threads dedicated to all available mods. Or at least to compare them. Stock Transporter: http://photos.lam.ws/gallery/1930618/2/98101199/Large [EMAIL PROTECTED]: o- digital part is not touched at all o- no line filters or PS mods o- completely redone analogue domain o- dedicated PS with a tube/choke rectifier o- transformer coupled balanced outputs o- no coupling capacitors o- no opamps So, if you use an external DAC, Dan's mods will absolutely useless for you. [EMAIL PROTECTED]/Aberdeen http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii158/alekz-net/audio/transporter/img__02843.jpg http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii158/alekz-net/audio/transporter/img__02841.jpg o- added Schaffner line filter o- added ferrite rings on the ground wires and digital power supplies o- added vibration damping o- replaced most (at least half) capacitors with Sanyo ones o- the coupling capacitors are replaced with Black Gates o- replaced receptacles o- replaced opamps (very fast OPA637 are considered "the best" (sorry, "the best" again ;-) sounding opamps available) in analogue stage The schematics/topology is not changed (except the line filter). [EMAIL PROTECTED] (No picture) o- replaced clocks o- replaced DAC o- modded PS o- only unbalanced version is available (Alex does not disclose the reasons) Basically, he recreated the Transporter, only the "computer part" is left untouched. Reference AudioMods: http://www.referenceaudiomods.com/images/slim.jpg o- modded PS (diodes and caps) o- replaced SuperRegs with Audiocom regs o- replaced receptacles o- replaced the analogue stage with just two silver wired transformers (? the picture is not big enough to determine how the transformers are actually connected.) -- alekz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ alekz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13574 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43269 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
