Themis - you are correct :o) The mods were done to the X-DAC and X-10 by Audiocom in the UK. All new and funky op amps/caps/diodes, new superclock 4, two ultra low noise reg boards (in the DAC). Certainly the dac mods made this into a different animal altogether. But I do think that Dac's are like vinyl cartridges - beyond a certain point of basic engineering the rest is personal taste rather than "fidelity" per se...ymmv -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...SB3+Stontronics PSU - Altmann JISCO/UPCI - TACT 2.2X (Linear PSU) + Good Vibrations S/W - MF Triplethreat(Audiocom full mods)- Linn 5103 - Aktiv 5.1 system (6x LK140's, ESPEK/TRIKAN/KATAN/SEIZMIK 10.5), Townsend Supertweeters, Kimber & Chord cables Outdoors: Boombox+Creative Sub (If I remember to turn it on...) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54947 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
