well big fan of the jolida , black ice dacs
now on my 5th edition
managed to get this one recently
Black Ice Audio (formerly Jolida) lastest and last revision of the FX DSD valve dac with mods (latest revision boards)
Furutech gold IEC and AMR fuse
• Cast single core silver output wire
• Audio Note silver plated RCA output sockets
•Dac board’s electrolytic cap upgraded to Audio Seiryu
• Dac board voltage regulator upgraded to a Sparkos discreet type
• Mains board has resistor upgrades to Mills (one of which feeds the tubes)
• Regulator to the tubes upgraded to a Sparkos discreet type
• WiFi board unplugged (can be reconnected)
• Mains board caps upgraded to:
• Audio Note Seiryu and Standard, Panasonic and a Solen tin foil Teflon FEP cap.
• Output caps are Russian K73-11 which at some stage could me modded to V-Caps.
• Output tubes are CBS 5751 triple meca types (US made tubes)
• The headphone volume pot is bypassed but not disconnected. I can remove this if you want the full use of the volume pot for headphones or the output RCA’s. As it stands now with the bypass there is a little variance in turning the pot.
• On the rear IEC there is a Russ Andrew’s ground post and copper screw to connect a cable like the below if you use any grounding boxes:
rather good really so now got 2 of these beauties
