I will have a go at disabling the output stage properly today and order the caps.
I really appreciate the insights I got from this thread of yours. I had been using a Meridian 568.2 as system preamp and to avoid the external DAC too many boxes). I had my eye on getting an Audio Aero Prima DAC to replace the Meridian. I have also tried several separate DACs such as Northstar 24/192 (very average), Benchmark DAC1 (nice sound but somehow missing something - mainly body), Lavry Blue (Very nice). Removing the Meridian and using the modded SB2 direct to the power amps is better in many ways, and quite a surprise given my first impressions of the analogue signal I got from my SB1. I have had an SB2 for a while now but had never listened to the analogue outputs. Who would believe a 200 dollar device could sound this immediate and musical? -- Jenks ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jenks's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3413 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19822 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
