Black Gate Cap upgrade on Museatex Bitstream DAC

I'm gettin my DAC back later this week from Johm, it had been built from the ground up 12months ago, but it was just this week the Black Gate caps have been put in. I'm not getting overly excited about it, I'll be suprised if I hear a big jump, but I am anxious if anybody out there has had it done and what the results were?

I had my Museatex Bidat DAC upgraded by John Wright, a former associate of the Museatex founder Ed Meitner. Most of the work was done on the analog end of the DAC, and it was a big improvement. I believe he put in black gate caps, but I can't recall exactly.

Anyone with Museatex equip should visit the website and see what upgrades are available directly from the source. Highly recommended.

Ubglub, I know John personally, and own a modified Museatex Transport, he already built the DAC with upgrades last year, but a cap went, I sent it back to him and he put in Black Gate caps I was curious if anybody heard a difference just from the blackgate cap upgrades

Black Gates are a waste of money. If you're going to upgrade use Mundorfs or V-Caps. Both are clearly superior to Black Gates and Auricaps for that matter.
