I have done, and plan to do a few hardware mods to the dm500.
When I get chance I will take pics and add instructions.

Mods so far,

Replaced capacitors for network upload (outbound) speed (helps streaming etc)
The Asix ic datasheet states 4.7uf caps (outbound) the dreambox has 0.8uf.

CPU Heatsink

Coax spdif (digital out) in addition to toslink

RGB signal status fix
Add resistor to fix RGB signal status (should be over 1v but older boxes are 0.4v, brings it up to 1.4v) stopping it working with some tv's/switch boxes.

Next project,
Hard reset from remote (for when it locks)
Can't find the reset on the frontprocessor at the moment though.

Hi, I heard some where that there was an hardware upgrade to fix the low sound level from the dreambox 500. Do you know anything about it? Ithink it was a simple resistor install job!

cheers

Not heard that one, may look into. Plenty of volume through digital out though.
