In Reply to: Why Wima Caps? posted by Dan on March 29, 2000 at 11:59:49:
Hi there,>People have suggested using Wima caps as an upgrade to the MSB Link DAC,
>such as the Nelson upgrade, etc. I am wondering at their level of quality
>given their price point. I guess it doesn't have to cost a lot to be
>good, but are they that good?No, however they are some of the few remaining decent quality industrial suppliers and I at least refuse to over the moon for some Cap's that ain't better but have a "designer logo" on them.
And Wima makes quite large Value Cap's that fit the Pin-Spacing of Electrolyitc, especially good for coupling Applications....
>People are also talking about bypassing them. What value to bypass with?
>10%? More? Less?I recommend to use Wima FKP of small value <=10nF in parallel with good Quality small value Polystyren.
>Any input would be appreciated. I am trying to gather information for my
>Link DAC mod and several other tweakers are interested as well.There is one mod I'd recommend. Loose the entire analogue stage. Just take the Output direct from the PCM1716 Chip via a DC blocking Cap to the Output. End of story. The PCM1716 is a rather poor sounding chip anyway, don't waste too much time faffeling about with it.
Build the TNT-Audio Convertus DIY Dac, mucho, mucho better.
