One thing i need to clarify: the DAC on my hand now is Zhaolu D2. not yulong dac. sorry for the mistake i made..
mADmAN
ooooooooo

then most likely there wont be much difference ler...coz the ZERO and Zhaolu are very similar. supposedly the ZERO designer used to work for Zhaolu oso laugh.gif

Ok. Will let U know how much is the final price for the browndog adapter. It should be around RM7-9 per unit.
mADmAN
so ur bulking the adapter only?

me wan a full complete unit (adapter + opamp)...meaning i get the stuff straight can plug in to the dadc already.

I think u didnt follow this thread closely. But nvm..

I will bulk the adapters + OPA627AP ( got 8 units at my hand now). The adapter will take around 3-4Weeks to reach here.
1 Adapter = RM7-9
1 Opa627Ap = USD14 x 3.25 = RM46

so 1 full set will be arouond RM9 + (RM46 X 2) +RM6 (POslaju) = RM107

Hope this clear thing out.
mADmAN
okie good....but when the set reaches me will it be ready to plug n play or will i have to solder things myself??

mADmAN
laugh.gif truthfully...i cant tell the difference.... but mebbe if i compare it side by side with stock i might be able to la... the change might be subtle.

as it is my belief... (especially in audio) people usually wont notice upgrades....but will definitely notice downgrades tongue.gif

Well, for KL people you may choose for mass COD when I pay visit at around 28th March or you may choose for postage if you cant wait, fees should be around RM20 within peninsular smile.gif For buyer from other state, I guess you gotta stick to postage or COD with me in Ipoh tongue.gif

Receive the package of Browndog. Now waiting for the news of DAC.
mADmAN
same here...opamp received and its already in my ZERO in the DAC section...

now waiting for next round opamp so i can transfer it to the headamp section...

most likely my final config would be...

1* opa2107 - DAC
2* op627 (full units) - headamp
GodLuvSxS
Yo, guys. Sorry for being no news updating for awhile, been very busy lately and I'm on high possibility on oversea working trip soon, hope to get the DACs arrived before I fly. Today I phone the representative for further news about the shipment, too bad she's taking leave and back on 2moro. Will update you guys regarding the latest news.

Anyway, I heard from her colleague, the kastam there are quite damn busy right now, thanks to the recent resumed logistic activity from China after long few weeks CNY holiday and the Malaysia General Election, maybe the head there taking extra caution to avoid caught of "illegal activity" tongue.gif Hope those head not cakap banyak biggrin.gif

Bro, wont it be lots better the OPA627 at the DAC section? I always think of the computering term, Garbage in Garbage out, I think the OPA627 is the better garbage than the opa2107 tongue.gif I think you should try the LME49720 at the headamp there, the LME49720 is quite fast, more detail and bass slam is quite good, best thing is you can get it from NS sample program, i think 3 unit of sample cost you around RM30 "processing" fees, you can use two at the headamp section, then last one you can use it on the DAC section, quite different sound signature compare to OPA family smile.gif Personally i think that the musical of OPA627 + speed, slam of LME49720 would bring your DT990 to another level, trust me, bro!

EDIT: I think the LT's malaysia representative FFK me, after so long they still havent send me the opamp unsure.gif
