Has anyone else discovered that their power button on their dac now has no effect when using this mod?

My lights do odd things... When I turn it on sometimes 2 of them light up?
An update a day after changing the caps for the 6.3V version of the 47uF Nichicon Muse ES. These are really getting surprisingly tuneful - singers really sound like they mean what they are singing. On top of this, the rhythm is very persistent and unshakeable, particularly as it shares the Black Gate trait of excellent clarity in a dense mix, making rhythmic turns background musicians/sound even more evident.
Bass is also improving and giving better impact on drums. Upper bass is starting to fill out. Great tonal texture, brilliant with electric guitars - perhaps the Black Gates were a smidgen better (i.e. a barely noticeable difference).

Same here, without this particular mod in effect.....Quote:

I have a pair of Claritycaps to try next.
Which ones Martin,and what value?
Sorry, Rubycon CE bipolar (grey) 47uF 16V.Quote:
