On the internet I found a modification of the DacMagic 100, in which someone decided to replace the Fujicon capacitors with Nichicon Fine Gold capacitors, which has specified polarization. The use of the jumpers is unfortunately associated with the risk of appearance a DC component on the DAC output in the event of a failure.I've just bought the HE400 and headamp (equal to e09k by Fiio) and now I need just rock-solid DAC (I am currently using DAC in my e10k) - DacMagic 100 is one of the choices. kinda transforms the bass, blends in the mids, I've used with my laptop and is the best damn sound card I ever had.

That's because while you're trying to listen to music, your PC is busy performing virus scans, data backup, and other background tasks that may take priority over your tunes, causing it to alter the data rate to suit its own needs. Human beings are poor examiners, subject to superstition, bias, prejudice and a profound tendency to see what they want to see rather than what is really there. With the Fujicon capacitors I already had contact during the modification of the AZUR 651A amplifier.To me, the overall sound has improved by using the DM100 compared to going directly to the Kantos from the MBP. On many tracks I could hear the bass notes more clearly than before, bass guitars become more noticeable with all the tiny details (buzz, gurgle, grunt sounds) and electric guitar tremolo sounds were also more noticeable and defined.
