reimyo dap 777

Horn150,
Yes, I have place a large slap of wood over the 777 and you are correct the sound quality has improved. The bass area is deeper and clearer, harshness in older recordings eg Beach Boys, have been tone down. It appears the unit should be encased in a wooden sleeve.
I am in the process getting a better pc of wood made up for the top with holes cutout for ventilation. The slab is 2 inches thick oak wood. It is quite heavy so it will not move around. Wood surely does something good here.
Informed my dealer about this but he seems to think I am hearing things.
thx Terry

well

most people seem sceptical when things are improved without forking out loads of cash

I got the same significant improvement by decoupling all my components on big wood blocks also loading the top of my teac transport; worked well also to load the top of the transformers on my 845 amp

i have tried wood blocks made of different materials, such as maple, ebony, etc. . i have settled on cocobolo wood. it is worth a trip to a large lumber yard and investing say, $50 on a variety of wood to find the one which suits your taste.

i have found that ferrite beads on a digital cable often creates a more neutral frequency response.
