Thanks for the overview, Brent - that's brilliant. I'll start working through it once I get my amp working again!
Giving all your trade secrets away😱.

Lol
All the trade secrets are not quite given away. There are a few secrets hehe.
But......yes as a company we need to make money but we also know our roots. I have no problem sharing the things that matter. That's what diy is all about.

I can certainly do that!!!!
I replaced a Trichord clock 4 with a C2 and was astounded at the difference, I replaced audiocom reg 2's with SPowers and will now only use this type of regulator. I've heard the difference between a cheap cap and an Audio Upgrades SI and now I use SI's for all smoothing! Component wise, if you want to push to the limits, there is no question you need these sort of parts.
It was only a matter of time before you put all these components into something of your own. I've heard the headphones amp and it's exceptional value. You've told me what changes were made during the dac development and I expect that to punch way above it's price too!
What can I say, it definitely works for me 😉 🙂

I'll have a little try on spotify 1st!
You know those old squeeze boxes don't sound too bad with a couple of regs, clocks and the display on it's own psu too! Admittedly it's going into a nice modded dac. The beauty of the premium version of spotify is the higher bit rate. If I like it, I'll
Buy the album !

I am using several Spowers in my CDP and they surelly outperform anything else I have tryed before.
I even use those in my preamp with outstanding results.
I also am using two Fidelity Audio clocks in the CDP (one for the dac and the other for the servo) and these are superb.

Yep! I've also got them running my MC phono stage along with SI's. Its taken me 3 or so years to build up the collection of premium parts. I started off with a £1200 budget to buy a CD player. As soon as I heard it (Musical Fidelity A5.5), I knew I could beat it easily with a much cheaper modified player. The A5.5 used the same transport as the CD63 of 15 years (ish) earlier!!!!
I've used up my budget (and probably some more - addictive it is!!) but I've ended up with several DAC's and players that are more like £3k plus in sonic performance and I'm hoping that this new go at the 63 will punch higher than that.
So far as the 63 goes, its true you can make incredible performance gains with passive mods and caps etc, but one thing is for sure, when you start adding premium regulation and PSU's along with premuim clocking, the DOS etc you will end up with a giant killer. If you want very high end on a budget, this is the way to do it!! 😉😉
Yes ! I'm a bit over 150€ with all that big features, player included!
There is not even a cheap CD player sold 150€ new 🙂

Ah, James Blake is on Spotify. I'll need to get a proper copy though. Track 8 (and others) make me want higher displacement woofers! lol Mental album, some deep and loud bass on there. Reminds me of Bjork quite a lot in places.

SY you never called me on this before when I posted in french to Mathieu. I guess I just slipped under the radar. I have a bad habit of never reading the rules. 😱
