Chua, Thanks! The value that Abel has is OK?
Abel, please keep both for me. I'll arrange on how to deal when Chua confirms. BTW, you mentioned that your Kimber still lose to your Transparent... was your Transparent a factory terminated unit or it was another DIY effort? And after Star, the ultimate OPAMP will be Supernova! |

Chua, PP is recommending 1uF caps. Abel's is only 0.22. Would that be sufficient? What rating are you using now?
Abel, sure I'm interested but after you said that the Transparent is much better... well... how about doing the Transparent? I mean, what's the price difference anyway? |

I'm still thinking whether to get another 2 hdams for my headphone amp out but not sure what the combo should be...
Should it be either: dac = earth , headamp = 2 X moon dac = sun , headamp = 2 X earth dac = earth , headamp = 2 X moon dac = earth, headamp = 2 X sun (this is the most unlikely combo i think) I listen to a wide variety of music from vocals, RnB, trance, instrumental, jazz Anyone with any suggestions? |

QUOTE(jerren @ Sep 17 2008, 09:18 PM) It's advise to mod the power source if plug in 3 discrete opamps, cos some headfier reported that the bass loss some punch with three discrete opamp inside the DAC I guess with MOON in the DAC + LT1364 in the headamp is better, cos the AD1852 sound's belongs to the PRaT category, bright n lean with MOON's slight thick tonal might balance it ... sometimes I find the EARTH inside DAC abit thin for vocal, that's why I'm getting the MOON trying to give more depth and body to the music |

GL, count me in for a Moon... even though I have not even plug in any of the HDAM yet. Will let you know if my fren wanna get it too. Thx
Added on September 17, 2008, 11:29 pmstormspider, based on the Zero group from Head-Fi's feedback, it seems that Earth in DAC and Suns in Headamp is the best combination so far. Seems that most of them agree that the DAC should have a neutral opamp so that it's more balanced and then tune your sound preference at the headamp. Most also agree that the LT1364 at the headamp is already very listenable for the price but paying more for the Suns would have it's return as well.
