Hi, can some of you explain me why the Art DIO needs to upgrade the the wall wart and what should I be hearing if I don't change it?. If it really needs that...
Actually, the original wall wart has ample everything to power the DI/O. However, as with most DIY mods to audio equipment, the best place to begin an upgrade...
Hi Bob, thanks for your help. I just finished my modifications before yesterday and those are adding a power switch, replacing for analog output RCA's,...
I'm sort of using the original wall wart adapter. The voltage AC going into the DI/O can affect its tone. Some of the higher powered walwarts will actually...
Boy that sounds familiar. I had the same problem with my unit, but many others did not. Not sure if it's in the unit (doubt it) or in my home electrical supply...
The first thing that comes to my mind is that all of you who have that AC lag problem add an independent AC wire to take care of your audio & video. One coming...
Today I was having a look at the INA2137, which is a dual INA137 chip. It is a differential line receiver with 6dB fixed gain. It should work fine with the AKM...
Hi there! Got my DIO coupla days ago, already did the following mods: 1. Replaced the power supply doides 2. Replaced the digital input resistor 3. Removed and...
You've done most of the "standard" and minimally required mods, but not all. Removing the output caps results in a far cleaner and more transparent sound, but...
this wasn't the question :-) I asked whether (keeping in mind the mods I already did) removing all the components that Chris removed in his "nekid" version...
I did all the removing, except for the pots: they look neater than the ugly holes there would have been without them. Well, to my ears there has been no...
Hi. Has anybody tried any alternative opamps to replace the highly praised LT1362/5CN? I can't get the LTs locally, so my best alternatives are AD8004AN from...
Andrei, ... Relative loudness can certainly make a psychological difference as to think sound quality decreased. ... Which is Chris "nekid" DIO? ... If you...
Andrei, ... The AD8004 can only be considered a replacement in that they are quad, have 14 pins and are both fast. But the 8004 is a current feedback type and...
Carlos and skp112233, Thanks for your input. Not being an EE myself, I am not 100% lear on what you said, however what I did understand is that the AD chip...
Do the mods one at a time and then listen to each to see which step "to you" is a step backwards. It sounds as if the higher output would have worked out OK in...

... step "to you" is a step backwards. Not possible anymore, Ray. Or! I have to go buy all replaced components back in their original values... It sounds as...
... it does not...back track. Do not proceed to some other mod like removing the ADC. My unit is minimally modded above yours (added opamp change and resistor...
... As you wish, but you do not need to do that. If you picked out all the ADC parts, because you are not going to use it, that wouldn't affect the DAC side....
... the ... of ... Good :-) ... None :-) I was very careful about that. Just the ADC and all that is related to it (on the main board). I did not even touch...
... OK. So it works fine? Did you notice anything different on the sound? ... OK. But it might be interesting using a trimpot (10K) and see which combination...
Pouring effort into the DI/O comes from the Linn school of sound where most of the benefit comes from "fixing" the front end. I had a hardness in my system...
Don't know about this cable, but I recently experienced some "hardness" in my digital and vinyl sound after applying some Silclear to my contacts. The Silclear...
Hi Bob, What it is SILCLEAR ( where I can buy it )?. Regards, Krzysztof Jozefowicz ... my digital and vinyl sound after applying some Silclear to my contacts....
