Should I put a bybee in the DAC or cable to dac or speakers

I am wondering if my money is better spent having by DAC modified with a bybee filter or should I go with the digital cable from Bolder/Cryo leading to the DAC? The other option is the adapter between the speaker terminals and speaker wire that has a bybee on the positive terminal. I have read that a bybee filter should go close to the end of the signal chain, so the speaker option would be best. Another person wrote about having a bybee in their DAC and didn't hear much improvement when trying the speaker bybee-terminal adapter.

If you have any experience with these options, please let me know what you think.

What DAC do you have?

P-3A that will soon have the Dan Wright level 2 mods.

I would not get a bybee that you could not easily remove for this DAC, so for me it would be the inline from Bolder.

I think Modwright would agree. Bybees on the speakers are more dramatic of a benefit. Buy them raw and solder them in yourself, or buy them in a more portable configuration.

Cheers.
