extra rail volts do not mean more output,
but having more headroom there could mean lower distortion....
values of coupling caps remain the same regardless....

If you want to stick to large output capacitors, at least twist the wires to the cap tightly to reduce loop area and keep the terminal leads of the cap short. And get rid of that additional bypass cap, it won't be of any use in a coupling cap, only adds to loop area.

Hi AJT,
How do i go about getting more volts? a seperate power supply?

Hi Rundmaus,
Thanks for the help. I like the large output caps, the bypass is fine with speakers but no needed with this, and I shall twist the wires more.

your raw dc supply....if a regulator was used, you can upsize that ot 12 volts...
Before tinkering with the rail voltages for the opamp supply, you should read the schematic carefully and find out what else is being powered by those rails. Could be some of the stuff there does not take higher voltages well.

Hi Rundmaus,
Yes i think it feeds the dac, which might be a problem with extra voltage. Regards Sam
