What are you trying to do......why do you want to replace them? 5600pF is a very small value.

That's the Valab or Teradak non-oversampling DAC, right?
A lot of folks have replaced the outputs caps (self included) in that DAC. Those are the larger, silver caps in your photo.5.1 and 2.0 ch Basement Media Room: Outlaw 975/Emotiva DC-1/Rotel RB-1582 MKII/Rotel RB-1552/Audiosource Amp 3/Polk LS90, CS400i, FX500i/Outlaw X-12, LFM-1/JVD DLA-HD250/Da-Lite 100" HCCV/Sony ES BDP/Sonos Connect. DC-1/RB-1582 MKII/Sonos Connect also feed Polk 7C in garage or Dayton IO655 on patio.
2.1 ch Basement Gym: Denon AVR-2807/Klipsch Forte I or NHT SB2/JBL SUB 550P x 2/Chromecast Audio.
2.0 ch Living Room: Rotel RX-1052/Emotiva DC-1/Klipsch RF-7 III/Sony ES BDP/LG 65" LED.
2.0 ch Semi-portable: Klipsch Powergate/NHT SB3/Chromecast Audio.
Kitchen: Sonos Play5. -

Thanks for the link. They were taken out as an experiment and lost in a move.
Could somebody explain what kind of caps these tiny guys are? As I was looking online to find caps at that value, their was such a huge selection from ceramic disc to blah blah blah. I'm not understanding what it all means. Or is value and voltage the only thing that really matters and the material or whatever used is preference? -
The surface mount caps are better left alone unless you are very very good and confident with proper soldering tools.
Most likely, the improvements are minimal from swapping these kinds of caps.
Can't say exactly what they are used for but it depends what part of the circuit it's used in.
What are you trying to do and what equipment are you modding?Trying out Different Audio Cables is a Religious Affair. You don't discuss it with anyone. :redface::biggrin: -

I had a friend help me with every modification. He literally ordered the parts and told me exactly where to install what. In the end, he didn't finish the job. Now I'm trying to get it back to working shape! I don't care about using audio grade caps/resistors, I just want it working again. I'm using the time to refresh my skills because I'm getting ready to do the TL mod on my SDA-2B's.
Since I was basically a puppet in getting this DAC to where it is now, I don't have the expertise to find the right components to get it back to where it was although I vividly remember where things go.
I have the skills and memory and I'm sure I can do this, I just don't have the knowledge of caps/resistors so I'm doing a lot of guessing :eek: Which is why I need help

Childrens Place has a nice selection of tiny caps. You might also look at Babies R Us.

I think this is what you want.

Thanks for the link. I ended up going with some cheap Ceramic Disc caps for Fry's Electronics. They're working great. -
Some very useful suggestions from fellow Polkies, I'd say.
As a rule of thumb, it would probably be helpful in the future to mention specifics of the gear the components come from. If no one has an actual schematic, it's not impossible to dig them up from somewhere.
