Was the question you asked directly to 3eaudio? Have you dm'd them here @3eaudio ?
Hi! I wrote to the seller in the official 3Eaudio store. The seller sent a "recommendation from engineers" - to replace 2 capacitors. (look pics.1)

Before replacing these capacitors, I checked them on both boards. (look pics.2,3)
All 4 capacitors are serviceable. They have a capacity of 9.10mF - 9.90mF. It doesn't make sense to change them.

You can't measure them while they are in circuit - everything else connected to the circuit will influence the measurement.

What is the value shown on the capacitor body? (It's uF BTW, not mF).
