Signstek Mini USB DAC (Sleeper DAC) and mod!

Eastham

More Class-A than ever!
Picked up this little guy off of eBay for £22 not expecting much and it was suprsingly amazing! For the price this little DAC kicks A$$.

It's only a 16 bit DAC and only good for 48000KHz but it's quite the little performer and a lot better than the onboard soundcard in my PC.

I decided to improve the design a little however. The crappy "Changx" branded caps had to go and I replaced them with some Panasonic FM's. I usually go with FC's but I thought I'd give the FM series a go. The sound of the DAC has definetely improved, sounds a little more spacious and the highs are less shrill.

Before and After recap.

Great bang for your buck dac and with this little mod you can get a very nice performer IMO.
