Arcam Black Box 50 dac - 100% refurbished and upgraded
Arcam Black Box 50 dac - 100% refurbished and upgraded
Every electrolytic cap has been replaced with an upgrade - Nichicon, Elna and Panasonic.
Output caps were Rubycon electrolytic bi-polar types but now the dac sports Vishay film capacitors in this crucial position.
Main power supply cap also bypassed with a Vishay film cap.
Power supply input cable now Neotech. Fuse is an AMR.
Lots of chassis dampening.
Opamps on the dac board were NE5532 but now universal gold plated dip sockets have been added to allow for opamp rolling. Opamps in the dac are now 2604 upgrades - big improvement.
Some chips coated with Audio Magic Blackout Paint.
Grounding post added so the likes of an Entreq can be attached - works well.
41 component upgrades in total - like a new dac for old money.
Very quiet background to this dac. Very detailed and ‘quick’ sounding. Lots of ‘air’ and insight to the music. Big upgrade over a stock unit. Negative is it is not that emotionally engaging - it does not do it all.
No original box or manual but will be well packed.
£180 incl UK post.
