Sorry
I forget to write that I get a Xonar Asus Essence STX fully modded
( Burson discrete opamp, Silmic II and Rel cap capacitors, newclassD regulators) for an "all-in-one" transport. It's a PCI-E Soundboard
I dislike separate digital devices
Where did you get your tricked out Xonar Essence STX ???Also, are any of the component upgrades for the SPDIF digital outs, or just the analog output paths?
Thanks,
TimP.S.
I pulled mine apart. There are 3 8-pin sockets under the RFI shield.One I can't read, but the other 2 are JRC 2114D op-amps.
From the circuit board layout, these appear to be dedicated to the stereo analog outs (not the digital SPDIF out).

Hi Tim
I don't use digital output so my modding was only for the analog part.
Maybe in future I'll post a short manual of ST/STX Modding in english, for a cMP2 analog use and not only like the original digital transport.
I've found this use astounding, it worth the effort. And you'll can forget any problem about cable, connectors, external DAC ( ultimately they grows up like mushrooms after the rain.....)
