Note: I added in black plastic/glue from my 180W glue gun. This was to add support for the adapter and capacitors, in order to isolate vibrations and increase the longevity of the mod. You can apply this to any circuit with SMD op-amps and SMD capacitors. I hope it helps others looking to modify their […]

Heads up for anyone interested in either checking out a new WWII shooter and ensuring my Twitch stream is working correctly.
Making Custom I2S Cables
Note: I abandoned further work on this, because I no longer use an Amanero or XMOS module which require this sort of connector. Instead, now I use Belden CAT6 CatSnake between my Singxer SU-1 (clone) and my ES9038Pro DAC. You can find the article on that, right here. I am working on uploading a video […]

First new section is the Fender Blues Jr Mods (Custom), which should bring in more musicians and musician related audio […]
