I've just spotted a small PCB for sale that allows you to double / parallel a TDA1541 in a CD player or DAC.
It has the positions around each DIP socket to install decoupling capacitors.
I've a Marantz CD-65. It's one of the models where the factory decouplers are underneath the PCB rather then next to the DAC.
Woulda a PCB drop in, between the TDA1541 and the main PCB (with DIP socket added) be a suitable way to move these decoupling capacitors to the top.
I've read you don't actually need to remove the factory ones when upgrading them, I'm pretty sure I read of folk simply soldering on the the same points the factory ones do.
But would the idea of a effective daughter board to move these caps to the top, and ease upgrade, actually work? Or am I missing something in my naivety?
