Hi Digit has arrived and compared to my Chinese dac.
The digit seems a little less realistic and has less ambiance.
It holds it's own fairly well though which bodes well for a little modding.
I think a lot of the difference will be the op-amp.
First job replace the 5532 with a brown dogged pair of 627s.

Hi I've swapped the 627s into the Digit and changed the smoothing caps to Panasonic FC.
Quite a diffrerence and it's looking good to carry on modding.
If I whip the 5v reg out, can I replace it with a Flea power supply.

Hi Taff, kept the same size caps but used Panasonic FC.
Not tested the caps mod yet but there should be a little difference as Panasonic FC's are good for smoothing in my experience although Oscons are good for digital supplies so I may change one.
I've found that a standard design of power supply, transformer, rectifier, caps, is probably best to power the Digit. I'm making two supplies and using this thread for the regulator and cap mods.
