In Reply to: And the SRC2496 only costs $129! posted by sendler on January 14, 2007 at 06:19:13:
I finished the direct out mod on a SRC2496 I got about a week ago and it greatly improved the sound. I haven't completely finished permanent setup and have the top off and the rca jacks and caps, etc laying inside the case but they are mounted with no chance for movement or shorting. The problem I am having is an intermittent pop, presumably from static buildup. I haven't had anything like this in my system before and was wondering if you had experienced this on the DEQ after doing the mod. Maybe it will go away once the I get the rca's mounted and the case put back together?Another mod that really adds to the weight and resolution of the unit is to install a choke in series on the outlet leg of each of the 4 voltage regulators. I used some small toroidal chokes 100mH, 1 ohm dcr. Seems to do a better job than decoupling caps alone to clean up the dc power to the chips.
Also, I think the review above overstates the sound qualities of this piece of equipment. With mods it can sound good because of the high quality ADC and DAC and resampler. It has the typical low cost opamps, surface mount caps and resistors, and cheap electrolyics for coupling combining to give less than exciting stock performance. However, with the features it has and the potential for modifying to a much higher level, it is definately worth the price.
