    I don't do the DAC chip upgrade any more. But Tirna Electonics can help you out.

    Is that a Caiman eyeball or a Gator eyeball on your avatar, Stan?
    Don't you just hate it when you cannot detect where the post ends and a signature line begins?

    The mod is only for the headphone.
    Ah, I'm glad I asked. I rarely use headphones at home so I'll give this a miss for now. Cheers.

    I just received a copy of the remastered Band on the Run album and played it through the Gatorized Caiman and Squeezebox Touch and it sounded amazing! I have some of the songs on vinyl and the SB/Caiman sounded better. I think the production on the re-release is part of the reason but I'm sure that the Caiman is definitely helping as well. I'm very pleased with how mine sounds now.

    Default Modding Gatorized Caiman

    Hello AOS members

    I'm using Caiman for about a year now and Gatorized Caiman for about 2 weeks.
    Although this is wonderful device, after successful upgrade with Gator I
    started looking around what other mods are available

    I'm utilizing both line and headphone output (HD800 with AD826 in Gator) so I'm interested in
    upgrades of both sections.

    Here is a list of what mods I have found and assume could be applied also to Gatored Caiman:

    1. Gator pcb board - replacement of 47nF capacitors with 68nF WIMAs
    2. Caiman board: Elna Silmic II Caps + MuRata Regs

    Is there anything else available I've forgot to mention? Maybe pecific tweaks for HD800 / Gator?

    Tomas

    Hi Tomas,
    Welcome to The Art of Sound!
    Would you mind stopping by the Welcome section and introducing yourself to the folks here? It would be great to know a bit more about you, your equipment and the music you like.

    Cheers
