I realize it's not the player of choice but it's what i had when the madness set in and now it's too late but go forward. I would say it's gone about 2 thirds of what's possible (reasonable), but Brent would know this better. It sounds very good however. It has Ray's DOS board so you know I'm serious!

ps What value to use in the opamp decouple
I'd use either 220uF or 470uF. You can get ZA's from Lee (Thomo) and ZLG's from Farnell (min order value). If you want to go all posh, click the smiley!!! 😀
Found some nichon fg audio grade 330uf 25v they be ok for decoupling ,blackgates bit expensive 😱
many thanks alan
Those BG's are in $ dont forget! They aren't bad at $3.75 for 470uF/16v! They are good on delivery too.
try these but I think the minimum order quantity is £25 I think
RUBYCON|16ZLG470M10X12.5|CAPACITOR, 470UF, 16V | Farnell United Kingdom
I think Lee is about £2.50 for ZA's which were always more expensive than ZLG's
Be carefull of the eBay "too good to be true" prices!
If you buy from any of the above, you know what you are getting

Gonna need 4 tenner aint bad dont mind that is 16v too low tho rays list says 25v the nichion caps came from germany 10 for 9.30 plus postage
thanks alan
thanks alan
Too low for what? 16v caps are too low for a 12v rail??????😕
ZA's are used in many commercial upgrades and they are not the cheapest, that must tell you something. ZLG are the replacement for ZA as they are now obsolete. They are much cheaper than the ZA's were but they are still much better then most. Caps are a personal choice but I've been pulling nichicon elco's out as part of my upgrades!!!!
You'll loose loads of the details that ZA's will give you using Nichicon. If you like a warmer sound you could use Nichicon or you could start with a TDA1541a based player like myself, Simon and Lee did!!!
