David: I already installed a SR-Black in my amp. That improvement motivated me to look inside my DAC. No fuse. A resistor is in line with the incoming AC. This model was heavily modified by Bob Crump. I'm ordering new caps from Michael Percy Audio. Curiously, he owns an earlier version of the same DAC - designed by Damian Martin. After recapping, I'd love to compare it to a current DAC. Anybody living in OC?
Replacing caps in DAC
I’ll be replacing caps in my 20 yr old Entec Number Cruncher 3.0 – last upgraded by Bob Crump. It still sounds pretty good. The 10 Nichicon Muse caps (radial) will be replaced by the same. The 6 low value Hi-Rel and AudioCaps (axial) are not made anymore. Any suggestions for substitutions? Thx
