Guys, I have found some source for opa627, USD11 ~ 16/piece for new one (shipping not included), some used one for serious value of just around RM20/piece, interested?

Interested on it but I have no idea on how to swap them

So for the Zero I would need 2 OPA627 and a Browndog adapter right?

Do you think can get the OPA627 already soldered on the browndog adapter, I lack the tools and probably the skill to assemble it myself

To swap opa627 into ZERO, you guys need 2 opa627 and soldered on browndog adapter, I found some soldered 627 on browndog, will research more before update you guys with the price

OPA627BP? or AP?

Test Seven: Burr Brown OPA 627 BP on Browndog adaptor Price: £28 each (Total £56 for 2 singles) Browndog adaptor £5 Total: £61

Two words sum this chip up........ "absolute class" This is the only single chip in the test (the rest all being duals) and it was necessary to fit two single channel 627's onto a single to dual Browndog adaptor which Adapts two single-channel DIP-8 op-amps to a dual DIP-8 pinout. These 2 single channel op amps absolutely trounced anything that had gone before them in this test..... the width of the soundstage, the clarity and the sheer presence make this my choice of op amp for use in the Chiarra without a shadow of a doubt. The sound is just so "clean", so "natural", so "musical" and so "detailed" with the 627's on board. I said the AD 823 was "as close to headphone heaven I have yet been" The Burr Brown 627 "is" headphone heaven....... absolute class act. 10 / 10



wow look at this review, it is BP. must do the browndog lah. his price too high, who can get cheper..

USD11 for BP & USD16 for AP





Is this the browndog adapter you guys mentioning about? Normally how much does this thing cost? I need some reference to nego with the seller if that thing is browndog adapter Seriously if those who are really serious about getting the best out of ZERO dac, should consider swap in OPA627 for the DAC section, 2 x OPA627 BP = USD22 plus another small fees for browndog adapter and perhaps some fees for DIY sifu to help u guys solder in, i think the cost should be just around RM100 and you get one of the best sound

Woot..seem like many people kena OPA627 poison...lol...
I can get OPA627AP at USD14 (including shipping to your doorstep) from oversea. But need to order mininum 4 pcs per batch (same shipping address).
It used to be USD12....but price increase out of suddent ....haiz..
But the browndog adapter (socket type) i cant find it cheap beside those at ebay and some online shop...ZZZz

hehe,this forum is famous for poison.bro,wan to ask what is the different between OPA627AP and and BP

LOL still no ppl confirm with me that the thingie inside the picture is browndog adapter?

yes..it is a browndog adapter..But need to take note izzit socket or solder on...
For opamp rolling, end user will prefer socket type...

That one is DIP Mike, how much you spent on this? Seriously i think i got a nice price

i still cant find cheap browndog adapter...
only can find reasonable price OPA627AP

guys...so sorry...me in the middle of moving office right now....so alot of things to do. need to setup cubicles, desks etc etc. so busy..now oso just only got home.

ive also confirmed a Maya44 with akabane. so hopefully he reads the PM i just sent him and mebbe can get the Maya44 tomorrow (friday) or saturday. then i can use the digital output on the card instead of the crappy mobo im using now.

as for ZERO vs HD2...dunno...never heard the HD2 before.

but... ZERO vs Fubar II+Cute Battery II amp... that one i know.

to simply put. the ZERO at almost 1/3 the price of the Fubar II+Cute Battery II, can seriously compete with them. there are some aspects where the ZERO is better...and there are some aspects where the Fubar is better. but the price point of the ZERO is a HUGE advantage imho.

@empire23
bro. any chance ur dropping by Mid Valley? can pass u the unit. too busy to come out and play right now due to moving office. if can, gimme a buzz @ 0126596370.

Is this the browndog adapter you guys talking about? Changing single op to dual op. I can get 5 for around RM10 if you guys want. There also the adapter to change SOIC to DIP.

wow..that is cheap..but is only the pcb board rite?
Browndog adapter that i lookin for is like below:


A complete with socket (DIP)
Can u find it? and how much?

Yup, that's only for the pcb board. The dip cost around RM1 for 1 unit and the pin around RM3 for 40 together. It's a little bit cheaper but lazy to do the conversion. It's selling separately so need to do some solder job. So should be around RM20 to get 5 set.

wow...that is not bad for a adapter..
Come come every1..let do a bulk oder to teNtiOn...I want 2 units!!

i prefer to have the complete unit. i leceh to do the soldering, my skill also no good. is it necessary to be silvered ?

If really available i want 2 units too (not sure where to use but keep it for future use DAH1's opamp is soldered so cant do anything about it )

U can un solder the existing opamp and replace with a DIP adapter...
Is a real sad case for DAH1 to solder the opamp!!

Hehe, but technically it'll void the warranty isn't it Nvm i'll do it after 1 year haha.
And to be frank i'm quite new to this opamp thingy, so gotta read and learn more too..

I can order for you if 5 set needed so didnt waste the extra pcb or pin. I'm actually ordering something for myself so tumpang me. It should take around 2 weeks to arrive based on my last experience. Anyway let me know latest on sunday cause i will mostly made my order on sunday so that it can send out on monday as requested by the shop.

Tention,


i also net 1 set for my ZERO. Is it 1 set = 2 unit and it it come completely aseembled ??

I have a brief discussion with teNtiOn. We will do a non-profit bulk for this browndog adapter. I will bulk 10 units for 1 time only. teNtiOn is so kind enough to help me make it into final product (No DIY, Plug and play ).
The total cost for 10 unit will be: RM40 (parts) + RM15(Oversea Shipping) + RM5(Poslaju to me) = RM60
So 1 Unit will be RM6 +Postage fee to your door step. I dun offer any COD unless U can come to MMU Melaka.

U guys need to be fast. Coz 1 unit of browndog adapter is selling like USD5 (excluding shipping fee) at Ebay!!!

Once again, this is a NON-Profit bulk brought by a music lover to another...

I dun want to take any deposit, but I will definately curse those who FFK after U confirm yr order!!!
PST me if U interested.

**Once again, credit to teNtiOn because he will spend his effort to make it into final product with NO CHARGE**

Wow so many ppl getting the opa627, hype of the month

Seriously I have not listened to head phone for a long long time. I knew the hype is there. Can someone explain how is that Senheiser HD 550 compared to listening Stereo bookshelf speaker such as B&W.

rgds.

Guess what arrived today! LME49720, all eight pieces inside the tube

is this dac can be plug to other source, say mp3 player or dvd player...
if can, how?? coz i juz saw only spdif input at the dac..

Normally DAC just accept signal then connect to the amplifier, the DAC only got RCA out, if your mp3 player or DVD player accepts RCA in, then you need a RCA to RCA cable. If accept mini stereo, then you need RCA to mini cable

hhmm... let say my mp3 player only have mini phone jack. Mean i need the mini to RCA cable, plug the mini to the mp3 player and plug the rca to the DAC. where?coaxial in?
