Hi.
I have just finnished a modification of my audiophonics ncore 125 amplifier , lowering the gain to 13 dB instead of 25,5 dB.
Two SMD resistors had to be desoldered. The sound got better from the ne5532 in the ncore working only as a buffer with no amplifying. This modification is verified by hypex , ( I emailed them ) and I did the work by myself.

The digital volume control in the WiiM dont have to be set so low for my dac anymore . My ncore amplifier are now sounding slightly better than my tpa3251 amplifier, that was not the case before the modification when they sounded quite similar.
