Adding an MKP (Metalized Polypropylene) bypass capacitor to your Burson V6/V7 op-amps can enhance sound clarity and fidelity. This tweak is perfect for DIY enthusiasts with soldering skills and should be done carefully. Here’s how to carry out the tweak:

Tools Needed:

•Soldering iron and solder

•0.1µF to 1µF MKP capacitors

•Multimeter (optional for testing)

•Screwdriver (to open device)

•Heat-resistant tweezers

•Safety glasses

Safety First:

Always power down and unplug your device before making any modifications to avoid electrical hazards.

Understanding Dual and Single Op-Amps:

•Dual op-amps have a different pinout compared to single op-amps.

•Consult the datasheet for proper identification of the V+ and V− power pins for each type.

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Prepare the Workspace: Ensure the area is clean, and you have all necessary tools.

2. Open the Device: Use a screwdriver to carefully access the op-amp area on your sound card or DAC.

3. Identify the Power Pins: For dual or single op-amps, locate the V+ and V− pins. These are where you’ll solder the capacitor.

•For dual op-amps: typically pins 4 and 8.

•For single op-amps: typically pins 7 and 4.

4. Solder the MKP Capacitor: Select a 0.1µF MKP capacitor to start and solder it across the V+ and V− pins.

•Ensure the connections are solid and avoid cold solder joints.

5. Reassemble the Device: Carefully reassemble and secure the device before powering it back on.

6. Test the Sound: After powering up, listen for improvements in sound clarity, soundstage, and detail. Depending on your circuit, adjust the capacitor value up to 1µF for further refinement.

This tweak works well with any Burson V6/V7 op-amp upgrade and provides an extra layer of sound enhancement for those looking to elevate their listening experience.
