I know you guys LOVE to see close up and personal internal guts pics. Like the very warped line from Turning Japanese by the Vapors, I’ll get a doctor to take a picture so I can look at you from inside as well.
I’m currently hosting @Souldriver Mojo X DAC in my home to just get the flavor of it. Thought it would be interesting to compare it to the Pro. I’ve been meaning to open up my PRO post upgrade of the power section to see what my $2K bought me. A quarter place on top of one of the new Lundahl cokes to give it scale. It’s one of the reasons this DAC weights the well over 40lbs it does.
So enjoy the pics but a cautionary tale to go along with the upload. I KNOW it wasn’t like this when I got the DAC back from Mojo, but after picking it to to make room for the X I hear a rattle inside. Hmmm… what’s that? Well as it turns out a nut was missing from the corner of the power section board and it was rattling around under the board and between the bottom of the chassis. How it got loose is a mistery because it wasn’t off when I originally set the DAC up and it hadn’t moved from there in months. So shock, horror, relief to know the potential for havoc that was avoided and the fact that nothing blew up in the first place with a steel nut loose in the power section. Oy vey.
Nut recovered and replaced with a bit of blue loc-tite for good measure this time.
