Ayon cd5-s or Skylla -2 dac. Big improvement


There is 11 steel fuses in the Skylla dac and 12 in the cd5 player
First Synergistic research Big MIGs under the unit are a noticeable upgrade
A good quality aftermarket power cord, plug all open RCA, and xlr openings with the Cardas caps, to block rf noise from entering,
And the biggest by far is replace all the fuses with Hifi tuning Supreme
20mm T fuses yes it is a $500 bill but a small price to pay for
These Silvergold fuses have 8x less resistance vs steel just check the Silver resistance, the level of low level detail , resolution, and stereo separation is Very apparent as well as dynamics being a bit quicker.
If you have invested this much in these units already this is ano brainer
This is possibly better then a cable upgrade and all that steel in
Common fuses is a Huge bottleneck and all that low level hash
Is Gone,clarity you didnot realize was there before. P.s
Ifyou need assistance with values and direction of signal path

Melbhuy1, can you please tell more info on stock and Russian rectifiers 6C4P that can be used in Ayon cd-5s? Right now couple stores on eBay selling Russian 6c4p-ev 1980 from Reflector plan, but the price is very low (below $3 for a tube). The Ayon saying that the 6CP4 must be used in cd-5s or Skylla 2, and using 6c4p tubes will damage transformers. I can’t even find any info on 6CP4 tubes and to add to the confusion some website show 6Z4 as stock rectifiers for cd-5s and some show 6X4.

Does any body know for sure what rectifiers must be used in Ayon cd-5s?
