A Place for all things Squeezebox as a transport
Just a little info on the SB Duet as a transport. By what he is saying (and i have read a lot of his stuff so i dont think he BS much) a few mods will turn the SP/DIF into something very very good. I was thinking i would have to tap into the I2S but as it seems i might not have to.

tuyen done some mods on mcb's sb.he followed lampizator i think tapping into the spdif is next for him as he only done caps.
i think a power supply will do wonders aswell.
-
Pete (rabbitz) has made me a new power supply which i will be able to test soon.
I had the chance to listen to a commercial power supply for the duet and it worked wonders to the sound coming from the RCAs. so id tackle the power issue first.
-
can we have some eye candy of it?i might be able to give you some hints on what caps to put in
-
Yeah no problem, i will be home in about 2 weeks. Then i will get into it and document everything.

Yep we have done a few caps so far. I am waiting for a smaller soldering iron tip to arrive. The it will be a case of securing some more of Tuyen's time.
I reaction to date is that the initial mods have added some more weight to the presentation. The first step has been worthwhile.

hi mcb,
Thanks for posting the pictures.
I noticed the wireless aerials are wrapped around the crystals. Is that the way they were? It probably won't cause any problems, but it seems strange to me.

Hi Greg,
I thought it looked strange too but I just left them as they were from factory. Unsure if they had specific purpose being bent around the oscillator chips.

Would love to put that to the ultimate test one day (to my own standard for my own satisfaction. Each to their own though).
