Having had my PT Ordinal DAC since late 1993, the capacitors finally succumbed from 24 years of use. It was only due to an inspection ahead of a HDCD filter chipset arriving, that I saw some signs of something awry.

Thanks to Nick Lucas at HiFi Collective as I was able to pop round and pick up the capacitors and complete the repair in an afternoon.
