Wyred DAC-2

Subject: Soft Recovery & Super Fast Diodes Modification

First I would like to thank Kyle Takenaga of Reference Audio Mod for all his support on improving my current audio gear. My latest addition to my audio gear is the Wyred DAC-2 that I just recieved yesterday 3/24/11. I pull the cover off to find out what size fuse i need to order a HiFi-Tunning fuse "supreme fast blow F". While I was in this unit i decided to replace the typical run-of-the mill diodes with Soft Recovery/Super Fast Diodes created by Kyle Takenaga.
Probably one of the most cost-effective modifications is to replace these with high performance Ultra Soft-recovery diodes. You'll hear much cleaner highs, increased resolution, more palpable mids, and tighter bass! Absolutely a must for any mod due to its low low costs!
The results is just like all my other audio gear, simply stunning!!
Picture on the latest mod is available upon request.

If you view my system, you will see the mod done to the DAC-2 and you will notice that each of these RAM diodes are four soft Soft Recovery & Super Fast Diodes connected in parallel to give the ultimate performance. I believe they are 1 amp ea with a total of 4 amps per RAM diode. To know more about the RAM diodes, contact Kyle at Reference Audio Mods.

Siranthony, regardless when you do this mod, before or after the DAC has been broken in, you will hear a dramatic difference.

2bgeorge, changing your stock diodes in most audio gear to these RAM diodes will have a substantial improvement.

To all of you that are thinking of changing your fuse to a HiFi-tunning fuse. I can save you the trouble of taking the cover off to see what amp fuse you need. this DAC-2 has a 2.5A.

I just order one for my DAC-2 from the link below.

How much are these diodes?
I guess it's safe to assume a similar result from replacing the diodes in a cd player. Correct?

JagD.,

What result did you achieve, if any, replacing the fuse? Thx.

Neal, it was significant in cleaner highs, increased resolution, more palpable mids, and tighter bass.
