Dac is altmann attraction dac with 3.3uf wima mks2 63vdc output coupling caps. Amplifier is a diy chip integrated amplifier with 4.7uf wima mks2 63vdc input caps. Both working with 12v.Using 35v plus will be enough I think. Source is linear psu powered esi juli xte sound card. Speakers fostex full range bass reflex.
I tried to change wima leads with non-magnetic leads. There was an improve ment. I also tried to use beeswax filled electrolytic cap(it is a diy effort) for input of the amp.I started to get soundstage information and vocals had more clarity. But electrolytic caps seems unstable performance for dc blocking. And I realized a good cap can be very good :)
Still I don’t understand why wima caps aren’t good enough. But I decided to try a good cap. But they are pretty expensive and probably all of their website has no information about their products.
