Mod your Beresford 7520

I have the Murata power regs on order and looking to snap up a power supply on Ebay today....

The power button cap needs to be replaced as I inadvertently cut it out

Doh! :doh: :)

Well, Steps 1 and 2 are completed. ELna Caps are in and so is the Wolfson DAC.

I shall attempt the Nichicon Muse Caps this evening with utterly pathetic soldering skills! :)

Since I have the Wolfson DAC on board now, would this mod to my Sonos be of little significance now?

Since you are considering spending $500 to $800 to upgrade your Sonos, why didn't you get the Caiman instead of the 7520?:confused:

Because I can upgrade my TC-7520 for practically nothing. I have availability to all the components as samples.

Any serious mods (beyond my pathetic soldering skills) can be done at the shop I work for which assembles printed circuit boards...... :)

So are you implying that a Caiman would render this modified Sonos useless?

I've not tried the Cullen mod or a Sonos but I did hear quite a noticeable improvement with all my dacs including the Caiman after installing an Audiocom Superclock 4 in a Squeezebox Duet, its still running in but I hear an improvement across the range.

Massive thread , a little bewildering to read thru it.

Any ideas on what opamp's could be used to tame treble a little?

This thread summarizes things a little better:
