Sound Blaster X-Fi Mods -will void your warranty-

I'm alright with soldering. been fixing a faulty 42" plasma tv that needs resoldering caps and replacing some opamps.

My dad works at jaycar electronics so he also gets staff pricing on stuff. maybe i can get what i need there.

My dad has a good iron and some 40% silver 60% lead solder too.
 
I have 3 modded Xtreme Music card, any one interested in buying. I went overboard with the mods. Each card has all 4 Op-Amps replaced with LM4562MA, front channels and surround channels. The power filter cap is replaced with Nichicon Muse KZ 1000uF/50V.
I just need to sell these as they take up room and I need to get back some cash to fix my car. I will only charge for the parts including sound card, shipping and $5 of my time to go and ship it to you. :D

Have some more OpAmps on the way...specifically national semiconductor LM49860MA's and LM49720MA's, plus i am trying to get ahold of some AD8599's from analog devices, trying to find them at a good price as general consensus is that they are less susceptible to EMI than the ones from national, as well as less distortion than the national ones.
