Approach

The approach

For over 20 years digital audio sources have been my main pursuit outside my day job. This is no assembly-line service: I only take on what genuinely interests me, and I work strictly for the result.

Principles

What guides the work

  1. No audio voodoo

    Proven engineering methods and the pursuit of maximum achievable quality. No cable-burn-in mysticism, no reinvented wheels.

  2. Genuine components only

    Sourced from direct authorized distributors. Counterfeits are excluded — that is what makes the result predictable.

  3. Forecast before the work

    Diagnostics from service schematics and a predicted gain before inspection. Plan and quote come before your approval, not after.

  4. Never stop learning

    I follow current digital-audio research and continuously buy and analyze cutting-edge op-amps, discrete designs included.

  5. Warranty on every job

    3 to 12 months, depending on the complexity of the work.

  6. Respect for fellow craftsmen

    If your unit was already modified by another author, the first build’s valuable ideas are carefully preserved. You get the best of two designers.

Questions

Frequently asked

Do you sell ready-made DACs?

No. I upgrade your device. You buy the donor unit yourself (I’ll point you to where) or send in the one you already own.

Can I audition before committing?

No loaner units. Sound comparisons are available on my YouTube channel.

Do you do repairs?

No. I only upgrade fully working units.
