MORE MOD'S...
- Disable headphone circuit: remove C901/902 (signal) and jumpers U139/140 (+/- 12V)
- Disable muting circuit: remove QN05...08, QN24/25/91/92 and RN27/28 (disables analog -12V to muting
circuit).
- Drive new muting relays: replace RN30/31 with 2k2, tap power from collector of QN02 (approx. 12V=),
jumper base and collector pins of QN24/25 and use muting-lines to drive BC547's with relays.
- Replace clock by special low jitter clock module and connect to pin 28 of DAC.
- Insert separate 5V voltage regulators (LM317 based) for analog and digital VDD pins of DAC and clock
circuit. Remove U203 and replace RD04 and CD07 to obtain separate connection for analog +5V of DAC.
- Replace fixed powerchord by IEC socket and connect ground wire to chassis at the output socket.
Use high quality steel braid shielded power cable to connect player to mains.
- Place varistor S20K250 directly on mains pins of IEC socket or on mains terminals on PCB.
- Insert common-mode filter (Farnell 353-2331). Remove U243/245 and insert filter instead.
Place two class X or Y capacitors 4,7n/250Vac across mains before and after filter.
REMARKS
- * replace Q801/802 with LM317/337 on small PCB's. Use expermentingboard or PCB's found at
http://eddie.dyec.com.tw/diy-products/vrm/vrm.htm for example. Fit LM337's by carefully cross-bending the
input and output pins and reversing the diodes and caps. Use tantalum decoupling caps.
- ** for best results: use single opamps, each fit for their task. Example: OPA602 + THS4011 or
AD8610 + AD8510 for post-DAC + filter on SMD adapters (BrownDog or eq.). Experiment and listen!
- # the HDAM-circuit looks nice, but when moving up to better opamps and interconnects this circuit starts to
interfere and degrades sound quality. To disable HDAM: remove R651...654 (+/- 12V), R617/618 and
RH23/24. Insert wire jumper at R619/620.
A lot of information and tips came from various articles and forums I found on the internet:
- many thanks to Thorsten Loesch for his article at http://www.tnt-audio.com/clinica/cd67.html
- and credits to the members of diyAudio.com that contributed through the forum, allthough they are probably
not aware of that (they'll know who they are if they recognize their idea here...).
