I gave up on this mod. I decided to pull the optical gizmos out and plug the A10 directly into my mesh node with vodka cable and it sounds a bit more resolving and natural than with the optical stuff, and obviously makes for less clutter. If anyone wants to try this out, feel free to send me a message and I can box up and send you the stuff at a discount.

I added the OEO pieces per@tksteingraber a couple weeks ago. Plug ‘n play. The audible improvement was quite noticeable... well worth the investment. A couple days ago I found that I had an old IFi 5volt $50 wall wart hiding in a desk drawer. I replaced the stock wall wart on the OEO device closest to my DAC with the IFi unit. As@sns predicted, a further improvement was immediately noticeable. Crystal clear mids and noticeably blacker background. I’m tempted to buy another 5v supply. Thanks for doing the R&D. I’m enjoying Qobuz now more than ever. |
@mre28m5 Glad you had a positive outcome! |
