Wadia 27ix with Great Northern Sound Company Statement Upgrade<\/h2>\n

The Statement Upgrade comprise a bunch of modifications and subtle tweaks that transform this dac and bring it to a whole new level<\/p>\n

This Wadia 27ix has had the Statement Upgrade installed. What this entails precisely is being kept a secret. All that is mentioned by GNSC is that all the weak points have been addressed. Curious as I am, I grabbed my chance to look under the lid of the dac when a friend bought it.<\/p>\n

The DAC in standard form is allready full of capacitors but as part of the Statement Upgrade they are now replaced by Black Gates. Also here you see 2 stacks of three capacitors instead of the previous single ones. They are all Rubycon Blackgates and each capacitor is damped with a piece of rubbery substance. Next to these capacitors is the outlet from one of the transformers which now has a capacitor-like component connected in series. It is covered in rubber.<\/p>\n

Above: the input board lid as well as the transformer lid removed. Both transformers are now floating between a rubber sandwich instead of being bolted to the bottom. The transformers have a 0,5cm thick separate housing (standard, no upgrade).<\/p>\n

Above: a filter-like device (unknown to me) that is connected in parallel across phase and neutral.<\/p>\n

Some SMD resistors have been removed and are bridged by solid core wire.<\/p>\n
