for the Stage 6

Just read the review of the stage 3 by Janos. Couldn't agree more. I have altered the stage 6 quite a lot. I have replaced all the op-amps on the dac board with either opa627bp or opa637bp. Also replaced clock with audiocom superclock 2. About to change the capacitors on the dac to elna silmic 2 when I receive them over the next few weeks.
The alterations have made the sound more musical, larger soundstage, instruments more lifelike

Product Weakness: vocals slightly muffled compared to my marantz dvd player but everything else better
Product Strengths: very musical, not harsh
