honestly, any improvement?

Well, yes actually. DIYParadise and Sanyo site And of course they low ESR as you can read from the link I provide

HERE

Creative adi released beta driver, Console Launcher beta and DVD-Audio Player beta dated 2 Jun...for me, nothing special about Daniel_K modded driver if using WinXP...and the beta driver adi restore the Dolby function that missing in Vista, so no point to use modded driver anymore...i'm now downloading, will post my comment on those driver later..

Actually a lot of opamps out there which are compatible, you can try them all, but you need money as well...

True, but well, I'm not too keen on changing opamp again. But well, I try my luck on this new one, hope it will be the last one that I changed. I requested for some sample of LT1364 from Linear too, but I think thats gonna be awhile before it arrives

me as well...i just think that the sound better after 'burn-in' is just our ears more adapted to the 'new' sound over the time...

Can Elit Pro pair with passive speakers?

With opamp everything is just in-your-face kind of experience, not the kinda thing that I like especially fo music listening, the soundstaging is very wide without opamp.

For me whet you describe is night and day, because you can clearly hear the difference, but well, one man's meat is another's poison. What speaker did you use with the X-Fi?

i pair with Yamaha RXV-800 amp and Concorde floor stander at home...but once i go back university, i have to settled with my AL MX5021 only...

EDIT: i like the sound by DAC alone too, but i think the card not designed to use like that, so i will change opamp also...

i wish also...so that can collect some information for opamps

Alright the mod is done. All I can say is Changed almost all the capacitor important for supply with Sanyo OS-CON and of course the coupling caps with 47uF Rubycon NX HQ. Hell, I never imagined it sounds this good, it really makes the card alive with music. The detail is spooky, the clarity is amazing. Everything is precise, I can't imagine anything better than this 

Nope, that is just aluminium RAMsink colored to look like copper from my old 6600LE
