I've done some mods on my DMIC20. I think this is a really good rig if people are willing to play with it.
- replaced SSM2017 preamp chips with THAT1512 (samples :)). Simple plug and play upgrade, just replace chips in sockets.
- added optical output. Simple mod: Part is TOTX177. Put +5, ground, and pin #17 of CS8402A to the TOTX and put a 0.1uF between 5V and ground at the TOTX. Dremmel a square hole in the front, and epoxy the TOTX from the inside.
- replaced gain switches and resistor arrays with a single 5K (dual, stereo) pot. Mounted on front panel.
If you understood that geek-speak, go ahead and try this, and email me with questions.
Unfortunately I cannot do these mods for others, due to time constraints and shakey hands. Sorry.

Pictures please! :)

Post some pics please.
I've had one loaned out forever in the loner program. Almost forgot about it. Almost ;) it's in Team bama's hands.
Anyway with a little help I'd like to mod mine.

OK, it might take me a few days to get around to this. I've got three shows coming up this weekend!

Richard,
My buddy and I may try doing this mod ourselves. I tried googling the part numbers with not much luck (I don't think?). Where would be a good place to look for these parts and what might we be looking at as far as cost?
