Replacing output auricap with ?? for non oversampling dac

First_octave · 14th April 2005, 07:00 PM

Hello

I'm thinking of replacing my auricaps on my dac.There is 1 cap per side on the output.

What i would like to know is it really worth the time and money to mess around with this.It's already a nice cap ,but i ask myself--as we always do--could it be better trying some other caps.

I was looking at some AUDIO NOTE Tin Foil & Mylar, Copper Foil (Copper Tube), Paper-In-Oil Capacitors. Not sure if they are worth the money and what changes could i expect with sound.--
--there typical signature--

Maybe some teflon caps??

Any adivice out there with caps you have used on your output from your digital.Looking for a very clean detailed sound.

Well guys i hope i can get some ideas here--always about fun.

regards

I have tried the Jensen aluminum paper-in-oil capacitor to replace the Wima coupling capacitor between the DAC and Line Stage. It improves the sound quality so much.

I just ordered few Mundorf silver in oil capacitor and trial. Hopefully it would be better than Jensen.

Looks interesting--and the caps are somewhat cheap.
