... The output of the DIO's AK chip is balanced, but current drive is a bit low. ... You certainly can, though I think you should try more modern chips than...
I am new to this list, and I am new to owning an Art product. I have a smART Boulder modified unit in transit to me now, from a guy in the states, and I would...
I'm presently using a Rotel 955 5-disc changer with my DI/O. The combo works very well. In my experience, relatively low-end transports in general benefit...
The transport serves a fairly simple function and as long as you take care of a few things it will do the job nicely. The real culprit when separating the...
Greetings, Changing the opamp filter resistors to reduce gain is about the only mod that hasn't been done to my DIO. I've recently reread all the posts and...
Just a note about my new page on my new toy called the dAck by Ack! Industries. To my unrefined ears, both the D/O(modifed) and dAck offer high end sound. The...
Thanks for the response and the info. Yes, was thinking a Bessel would be the way to go. Just wondered if there was any consensus by those who have swapped out...
Note that oversampling was invented to solve what was perceived to be the big problem with original redbook playback: THE POST FILTER. The digital filter that...
I came across a DI/O link at a headphone amp site and did a forum search on the DI/O over the last 4 weeks...guess how many hits came up ? Would you believe...
There's also the transformer output approach to be considered, using either the Edcor's or the Jensen's (expensive). With all the talk about the Ack Dak...
Thanks for the heads up on the Silclear and SST products, Bob. It makes coming to this site worthwhile. I'll look forward to your review of the products. I...
Hi, I was wondering if any one has pics of the ina103 mod. I did this mod and well... all i hear is buzzing. I triple checked everything, checked voltages...
I recall a post regarding phono plug /rca plug swap, solely for convenience. I am interested in the components used for this change and the method of adapting...
A number of people have mentioned that the Art is sensitive to jitter, and the use of a good digital cable is wise. What are people using? I have two cables...
Jon Risch's digital cable recipe works very good with the DI/O. Maybe something to do with the double shielding. However I did try something else that totally...
Details and links please Phil. Any issues on fitting it inside the DI/O case? Any benefit on doubling up this mod for the transport end also, or is it...
hi, mebbe gary bronn will get around to it - i asked him a while back about doing this. i haven't attempted it, fearing the same results you achieved, as i am...
my di/o has its woltage reduced to 3v, w/the same stock filter ratio, per the spreadsheets here on file. initially i used copper-lead holco's which certainly...
As a newbee to this Group I have a few general questions concerning the ART DI/O. 1) Looking over the schematic I want to ask something about the power supply....
I pulled the whole thing out of the case. Tossed the lower board... used the top board with big ass digital and analog SEPARATE supplies. Recapped the top...
Due to overwhelming popular demand (well 2 people), I have uploaded two photos of my INA103 modified DIO. They are in the photo folder labelled Gary's Stuff -...
Hey Gary, Thank for posting the pics. Carlos from this group contacted me and has been helping me trouble shoot it. I did something pretty stupid. I forgot...
Phil, I presume that you replaced the 22.578Mhz crystal since thats the one that is needed for CD playback. Does Tent make a clock with this frequency? ...
He sure does... You can also use the one sold by Reference Audio in Calif. They also have a very nice power supply for that clock. I also use their voltage ...
I really think you should try it out. It was actually pretty easy to implement and it sounds good. It's only plugged into a cheap system now for testing, but...
Great....always good to have another set of ears on the next evolution of DI/O beyond transformer coupled output and Class A biased LT1362. I'll look forward...
