Question D/A pot change "beige" to "blue"

As everyone is aware there's a different pot on 192 D/A cards and I would like to know is that the only difference? If so, can I change or has anyone changed the pots on D/A cards?

With beige pots you're able dial to +14 which the blue pots reach?

Anyone or do you know a tech that nows the answer?

Default Re: D/A pot change "beige" to "blue"

as long as it's the same value and formfactor
it's fine and quite simple with some skills
be careful unsoldering

how do you know it's a different value?
it's likely it's just a different manufacturer

a) I think you mean -14 not +14 there is nothing above 0 dBFS
b) are you talking about inside the 192 gen or the new HD gen?
c) why the hell would you want to be trimmed that high -20 sound so much better
