Can see the DAC power supply is nichicon Muse. Known for power supply clean and fast.

when u want to slot in Blackgate std.

Green sausage is impresive. it is another step of improvement even on first impression.

Wow... look at all those green caps...

Chua, those are bypass caps? They're too large to fit under board that's why you extended the leads?

Dont forget to bring the unit for review too.

The mod here is easy to follow provided u read up the thread in head-fi. if still complecated, then u may post here what u are not sure off.

the simple mod on zero really results in good sound output. I am waiting for another 100 hours to get the sound stabilized.

Sounds good. I hope the sound will be better after 250 hours.

Does anyone know the difference between UF4001 and UF4007. What is the forward voltage and reverse recovery time ? which is better ?

I took about 1 hour to trouble the 2 problem. Tracing the circuit to where it come from. U need a very bright light, and use the backlight to trace. The problem with open circuit is solved if u can handle the multimeter.

Now I am waiting for final phase : -
1. 8 x green sausage
2. 10 x ultra fast diode UF4007

here is the result. [oh my. the sound is really killing me softly. Madmen, can we have ur unit for a AB man]
