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.

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?
Neal, it was significant in cleaner highs, increased resolution, more palpable mids, and tighter bass.
Jag,
Any reason for stacking the 1amp diodes instead of using a 4amps in each of the 4 slots.
Also, is the 2.5 amp fuse a short one or a long one?
Thanks,
Don
