Modding the PS Audio Directstream DAC MK1 and MK2

The MK2 doesn’t need VOCM caps. 

I do miss Ted’s input on the PS Audio site. Clearly, it seems to me, a major philosophical change. I don’t like it; however, it’s their site and reputation.

Your not alone.  They were the good days when Ted chimed in with his knowledge and suggestions on upgrades etc... 

Has there been any kind of official statement explaining Ted's absence? 

For those who own MK1, the APS/VOCM mod is really a better bang for the buck.  Comparing the unmodified MKII with the modded MK1, I can concur that the latter sounded better than the former.  The MK1 although is getting old, is a mature product with a pretty stable firmware.
