Folks,
Here the respective Mods on my Musilands:
And a second view:
Modification list in short:
USB power CLC Filtering added, with big os-con
SPDIF Output Circuit fixed with different output transformers
SPDIF Output Circuit fixed with changed attenuation circuit/values
SPDIF connections made with 75 Ohm miniature PTFE Coax
And here the Monitor 01 US:
As can be seen this has been massively os-conned...
Modification list in short:
USB power CLC Filtering added, with big os-con
LC filtering added between main power and switched supplies (big os-con)
All local decoupling Capacitors upgraded to various Os-Cons
After this I find the devices rather good sonically.
I suspect adding a 'super clock' (how I hate that term) and a good linear 5V supply (+/-5V for the 01 US and bypassing the switchers) would take these devices to an even higher level of performance. Well, maybe over the christmass break...
Ciao T

At 20 bits, you are on the verge of dynamic range covering fly-farts-at-20-feet to intolerable pain. Really, what more could we need?
