Hi and thanks a lot for your kind and very valuable reply.
This is exactly what i mean.
Taken a basically decent design i suspect that a smart replacement of critical parts can give a remarkable boost to overall performance.
To trivialize a little just replacing a electrolytic cap in series with a tweeter in a old pair of speakers changed the sound a lot for the better.
Everything improved remarkably.
I read an article extremely interesting.
A modder actually did not add anything to a cd or a dvd player i do not remember exactly. He just took out redundant parts.
The final sound was better. With less components.

Lately i have been focusing power supplies. They are very fundamental.
I am using a small but nice usb headphone amp from Breeze Audio. Extremely cheap.
The sound was ok using the power supply from the pc, usually weak and dirty.
Then i tried a usb power supply from Teradak. No doubt. Much better.
Less noise more dynamic more detail more ambience.
This is just a merit of the improved power supply.
So for now PS are my love. And nightmare.
Of course component in series with the signal are even more decisive for good sound.
Thanks a lot again.
Kind regards,
bg
