Has anyone experimented with switching the Havana

Has anyone experimented with switching the IC chips that come standard with the MHDT Havana for the PCM56P-K version for example, and if so what was your findings? I am interested/curious in regards to any benifits that may be had in the doing of such. Thank you!!

No, but I had to replace the PCM56P-K chips in my early production Havanna (solid top, no logo) because the chips were defective and made clicking sounds. It was a very easy operation. Let us know if you do.

Peter, In having switched out the chips I've noticed a sense of greater seperation of and around instruments within the soundstage, increased airiness of the high frequencies. and just an overall better sense of all that was there originally having been increased. Of course YMMV due to differences in our systems.
