In this year, I started sharing my Fidelizer Mod projects I’ve been doing and you may wonder why I opened HiBy DAP before Sony that I posted recently. I’ve been modding non-stop for several years in Thailand and now I finally have time to accept new DAP as official Fidelizer Mod today.

 

HiBy DAP

Reference – It took me a long while to decide which I should upgrade first in reference level and I decided to upgrade new set of opamps first in this stage. With more analogue sounding opamps while retaining good clarity and details, you can get both of R6/R6 Pro charm.

Signature – After sound signature issue is resolved with opamp upgrade, I can move on to audio performance improvements with highest grade tantalum capacitors in important areas that will greatly improve clarity and dynamics.

Masterpiece – In order to upgrade affordable DAP performance to reach level of what higher tier DAP in market can offer today, system clock modules will be upgraded with lower phase noise, higher precision and frequency stability with noise reduction tweaks.

 

As I’m making HiBy DAP project an official mod today, I’ll start modding another Sony NW-ZX300 I received from overseas today. I’ll add Sony DAP into Fidelizer Mod as official products after finalizing its design for Portable Products soon. 🙂
