Replacing the Headphone socket on the V2

After much searching and trial and error I managed to find a direct drop in replacement headphone socket for the X-CAN V2 and X-CANS. Made by JALCO it's a professional grade high quality low profile PCB mounting stereo jack socket with stylish chrome ring bezel which not only looks  better than the stock headphone socket it also performs a lot better. Smoother in operation with better quality contacts assures you're getting the best possible connection between your headphones and the amp. Replacing the headphone socket with the pro grade JALCO couldn't be simpler:

 

Jalco pro grade headphone socket
Desolder the stock headphone socket from the PCB

smooth in operation
JALCO headphone socket in place, it really does add style to the front panel.

The black and chrome ring bezel integrate beautifully with the X-CAN
