Nichicon ES: Excellent choice for decoupling if you love string instruments. Nichicon FG: Nice rounded sound good midrange and soundstages, lack of bass, smaller size and less clarity than KZ. Maybe the size more than problematic.Įlna Tonerex: Tend to fit to places where the better Elnas do not, cheaper and sound more neutral. Nichicon KZ: Brilliant midrange and great capacitors for decoupling, but i carefully use them for other purposes because tend to sound flat to my hears. Neutral, precise, accurate sound, and not the best choice for decoupling. I prefer them over Silmic II if the task is not decoupling.Įlna Cerafine: The closest you can get to the beloved and sometimes overhyped Black gates. A perfect choice for decoupling purpouse.Įlna Silmic: The sound have better body, but less resolution compared to Silmic II. I recommend the following capacitors to use for the modifications:Įlna Silmic II: Most people consider them as the best for audio, warm clean analog sound impressive soundstages and details.
Static measurements almost not shows difference in numbers, still the influence undeniably present in the sound. The difference between the audio grade capacitors and standard is the used materials and technology. Other than that, they are great capacitors in the right place and equipment.

In this mod they are making the sound clear and warm, easy on the ears, and more realistic 3D! Elnas naturally increase bass, Nichicons are better in the midrange and this is not coming always handy.

Many of them was a great choice for upgrade around 2007 but time is time.Įlnas are one of the best electrolytic capacitors in the audio industry. Better only on paper than OPA1602AID, sound more neutral in comparison. OPA1612AID: A bit older close enough alternative. Ears can quickly adapt, not enough to be disappointed) Can be solder directly to the card, no need for adapters. (A noticeable thing is a tiny harshness in the midrange. Good performance in one or two ranges, and poor or limited in the other(s).
#CREATIVE SOUND BLASTER X FI TITANIUM FATAL1TY PLUS#
OPA1602AID: One of the latest OpAmp from the great TI Sound Plus family. Opa128SM: Maybe a bit better than Opa638AUīursons OpAmp: Some says they are the best, but others have their doubts. One of the best in clarity, instruments really alive, offer less details compared to OPA1602AID. Opa637SM: like Opa627AU just in a metal can.
Very similar to 49710NA (Titanium HD), but Opa627AU is a bit more alive.
Opa627AU: have better high but less depth.

The PA series sound brighter than P, and are also good choice. There are arguments about which one is the better, I personally prefer monos because the less chance for crosstalks. (Thank you Majkel!) The 228p is the mono, 2228p is the stereo version. Opa228P: One of the best opamp highly performing in the lower range (bass and drums ect.) Very sensitive to noises, what is abundant inside your pc. LM4562: Few years passed, they are better then stock OpAmps but outdated. This modification is working on the same way on XtremeMusic and Xtreme Gamer Fatality Pro.Ĥpcs OPA1602AID (for all chanels, no adapters required)ġpcs Elna Silmic I, II 1500uf 16V or 1000uF 16Vġpcs Elna Silmic I, II, or Cerafine 47uf 16Vģpcs Elna Silmic I, II or Cerafine 10uf 50VĢpcs Elna Silmic I, II, or Cerafine 22uf 16Vġpcs Elna Tonerex 100uf 50V or Silmic II 100uF 25VĦpcs 0.1uf 63V Wima MKS or other brand MKT capacitors It is amazing how much hidden potency remains in this card after many years. In reality, this mod can outperform a basic Auzentech X-Fi Forte or Titanium HD card in many ways (I have them both). If we are loking the technical data they are correct. Some can say that: what is the point to upgrade this old outdated modell, it will be never-ever as good as my new shiny 200$ card. Since X-Fi XtremeMusic, few other soundcards appeared on the market, usually with more extras and better quality. What I would like to share here is nothing special, most of them well known, but You can save time to read them in one place. Since I have learnt few things and tricks to improve the X-Fi further more. I have got big inspiration a while ago from Layman's Guide to modify my good old X-Fi.
