Anyone tried some film caps on the output? What would be the recommend value on film caps for loads around 8K? Edited by user Saturday, October 23, 2010 5:35:25 AM(UTC)  | Reason: Not specified

It sounds better than elkos but not quite as much as changing decoupling caps does in old players for example. Of course even with Elna silmicII it sounded amazing allready!

By the way, what is the value of the resistor that attaches to the output RCA? What is it for? Is it for reducing the gain? Thanks, Milton

We supply ES (Muse) bipolar. http://nichicon-us.com/e...ucts/alm_mini/daia_f.htm I also never heard for them but with some Google searching found them with some Taiwanese ebay sellers... So I'm guessing they are long time discontinued.

The ones shown in the image are 4.7uF. The B2/Legato is mounted between Opus boards, just above an 8 channel DAC/ADC/Preamp that provides I2S. http://www.facebook.com/...6842112&l=44968b08ac Frank Edited by user Sunday, February 20, 2011 8:13:01 AM(UTC)  | Reason: Not specified francolargo attached the following image(s): Legatoinplace.jpg (157kb) downloaded 185 time(s).
