Interesting, Steve. I’m curious how much more you can get out of your modded Modi 2
Nick, I had the Mundorf EVO caps in the speaker xover and they were excellent. I then removed and installed the pair in the upgraded Modi 2, in parallel with other ps caps, with good success, but again none in the speaker xover.
I may go exclusively Mun caps both in supply and output for consumers since I cannot get my favorite caps, but the sound of the smaller Muns will have to be spot on. If not, then I will not be offering an upgrade to other's Modi 2 dacs.
Right now, the sound is simply unbelievable. I don't even think about using any other dac.
I have reinstalled the EVOs back in my speaker crossovers, and have another new EVO pair coming mid week so
I will have Muns in both the xovers and Modi 2 (after breakin). The sound could be even better but could also be worse if the Muns are not near perfect.
I am being quite careful to gradually add Muns and note the effects.
cheers
