Squeezebox Mods Effective On Digital Output?

I am considering the Bolder Digital Enthusiasts Mode for my Duet. I’ve heard from Agon members who have done so and appreciate the improvement. I have also read several reviews of the Bolder/Duet mods that claim the analog mods are a considerable improvement, while the digital mods offer only very slight improvements. I am using an external DAC, so I am not interested in the analog mod.

Also, I may have to contact Bolder on this, but does anyone know if the internal power supply mod that Bolder does would be compatible with the external Channel Island power supply – as opposed to the external Bolder power supply? Since they’re both 9 volt DC, I assume there will be no issues??

Thanks -

What DAC do you use?

My first thought is to look at that first.

Jitter reduction device second. Some DACs may accomplish that for you.

I'd only do mods to the SB after all else fails, but I suspect it should not have to come to this.
