I've had no other problems with my Gator, but that pesky distorted bass is driving me nuts. I have no other explanation but to chalk it up to the faulty master.

Other than that, everything else plays divinely. And I've been upgrading my system like crazy in the past month or so, meaning that even with various components in and out of the chain, Gatorized DAC keeps playing nicely.

Sorry bud, I ran out of reasonable options here. Best of luck with taming the Gator, I know how much you love squeezing the last atom of stellar performance out of your gear
Thanks for that Alex.
Not got a different Dac as such, but on taking the Gator out and replacing the film caps/passive mod the problem vanishes.
Kinda narrows it down I'd say.

The more I think about it I reckon its an issue with the Gator output into my amp - its just too much.
The"Gain Mod" that has been done on Gators elsewhere might just be the solution?

Stan, would you be able to comment on this?


Thanks.
