Hi I've got a problem with my Cambridge Audio 640C cd player which I use to serve as transport for my unmodded ART Dio. Amp is sugden a21a and speakers Monitor...
Just to say, problem with cd player solved: opened it up and turned out to be loose connection inside. So much for my complicated view of things! If you have...
Some people have added a power switch to the D I/O. I've read that if you turn it off, then on again each time you change CDs, the lock loss is reduced. Jim...
Most of the time just cycling through the settings restores the lock. Funny, but with my current transport (EA modded Sony 7700 DVD player) the lock light...
recently, a buddy of mine purchased a bolder cables modded di/o on my recommendation. he also compared it to the benchmark, & he's kept the di/o. he also...
It seems that most of the Chinese DAC's are some type of NOS chip. They do sound nice on simple music, but once things start getting complicated or big and...
I have to agree with Bob. I tried the INA103 output and the transformer output and for me the dynamics of the INA103 just feel more like what I want to hear -...

I know it's been a long, long, long time. So is anyone still alive in this group? Just curious ... what, if anything, have you replaced your DI/O with? I'm...
Mine's been running about a year since extensive modifications without problems. Once in a while it will lose lock for a 1/2 second. I haven't had to turn it...
Hi Guys, I am still using my DI/O with the power supply mod. Tried to replace the DI/O with an Audio Note DAC, but the DI/O beat it hollow - I'm still at a ...
I'm using the RAKK DAC - transformer coupled PCM1794 available from K&K Audio. Best digital I've ever heard... http://kevinsgarage.50megs.com/pages/rakk.html ...
I'm interested in trying a different tube in my ART Dio. I've been using it for a long time, without the supplied tube, as everyone advises, but, I'm wondering...
Thanks for the reply R. I did wonder if I'd misunderstood this. Before posting, I checked as I'd thought that perhaps the tube was only relevant to A-D...

Thanks for the reply Doug. The mensa modded DI/O works fine in other systems where integrated amps are used. No hum/noise. I tried it in two different setups...
