QUOTE(DEz012 @ Aug 28 2008, 05:27 PM) There's some humming sound come out from my zero dac when switch on only, the sound were not very loud only if i put my ear near the amp. Is that ok?  Same problem with mine. It should work fine but any humming would affect the sound quality, IMO. I'll open it up over weekend to see if can fix it as per ccschua's suggestions. |

QUOTE(abel @ Jun 25 2008, 09:23 AM) ccschua get the dy2000 from internet i also ask him to get one for me also but no time to meet him yet  for soo many day i tested on Zero with different opamp currently i try on opa2107 .... wut i found the sound slightly dry n digital (fake) will all op when running using toslink .... than yesterday just bought MIT coaxial ... but not fully run it yet still dunno wut the result yet i compare back last 2 week when i listen to CD-63 KI the vocal are thick more sweet sounding .... when the CD-63 connect to DAC is totally different seem the sound more dynamic n more resolution vocal is slightly thin ... the different is CD-63 KI is running on 16bit and Zero is 24bit actually depends on ur taste ... if u like those new age or fast music Zero is more suitable ... Suprise or not abel, your old post  I also feel Zero + 627 is dry  (i burn in <8 hrs) sound is too clean for me. Slightly fake, maybe its too digital feel. (more clean & digital makes it feel more dynamic??) Maybe need further burn-n. Only good thing is soundstage wider and better resolution Not suitable for my classical music. Maybe i feel that clean = not musical, less involving. Hope HDAM-EARTH is more musical. This post has been edited by yehlai: Aug 28 2008, 07:48 PM |

Well I have 1 OPA Sun if u want can borrow and test. That will give you better dynamics, more forward vocal and clean.
Trust me, ZERO with OPA will give you a run of your money. |

And also willing to share his hardwares too. I believe Abel has invested quite a lot to come out with "Zero Dac Version 2." Keep up with the good works. May we all say cheers to them all.

Yes, bro Chua is nice.
Last time he also told can borrow his DY2000. I feel this DAC easily get warm, play at noon without aircond can become a bit hot. |
