jasonbourne52 ....20 years of operation ... it's time to change electrolytes ... (and if the previous owner changed them - I'm sure he was stingy or stupid) ... in any case - I want the best and closest to the original sound of ML.
Replacing capacitors in the ML DAC
...I have an old, but good, even by modern standards, multibit DAC. It is serviceable. I want to replace the capacitors. There are two problems:
1. There is a possibility that the previous owner has already changed the capacitors and caused confusion. (other brands)
2. Even if all the capacitors are native - it is probably no longer possible to return the factory specifications (voice) - such capacitors have not been produced for a long time ...
Yes, there are modern ones better - but which ones to choose ??? ...
Capacitors are spices ... and you need to know the best formula!
Black Gate - too expensive and most often fake ... Again - where on the DAC capacitors most affect the sound?
Does anyone know where this information can be found? - specialized ML services - too expensive.
Maybe someone has a personal experience?
