ProtoDAC TDA1387 X8 project

I swapped from Wima MKP to Jantzen Superior Z-cap today, and the soundstage opens up even more, clarity and definition in the whole area. They are not that expensive either, £45,- for a pair at Hificollective. I also use the AudioNote Kaisei 2200uF on the powerside which also is a cheap upgrade. I'm really amazed by what this design can do - thank you so much!!

Hello Ludomaniac, I would also like to install the Jantzen Superior Z-cap. Do these fit on the board at all? Or how did you install them? Thank you and best regards

Hi,

I haven't attached them to the PCB yet and I probably wont since I've connected a Miflex KPCU-03 Copper Foil Paper capacitors in parallell with Jantzen - and it takes up some space as they are almost the same size. I'll probably use cable ties to the bottom of the chassis when the unit is out of lab-mode

@Ludomaniac, @hifinet  had confirmed that Jantzen Superior Z-cap do sound better than most caps but was wondering if Audionote Kaisei 2200 had any audible impact, also which connection points did you connect Kaisei 2200 to on the board? Thanks.
