Anyone one paid and status are not updated?

Today did some upgrade for the ZERO DAC.

First thing I do, remove the original Gucci RCA and replace with the RCA (free gift from Mr He). Next put the connecting wire using Silver cable. This tiny silver cable is thinner than hair and so flimsy.

Next solder a wire to the RCA ground and connect OPA earth ground to this wire.

Put on the volume, connect the Volex 17604 (corrected to British polarity) and off the ZERO dac sings.

I was like 'shock' and awe and my jaw was wide open. The sound is more transparent with very good imaging. Worth my day.

When the OPA ground is not connected, I measured some running AC voltage of about 0.15V (floating voltage). Connecting it to ground force it to zero. I prefer to connect the OPA ground to the RCA ground (not to the chasis ground).

wow, i think that silver cable increase the transparency alot .... wow ... makes me hand itchy already! The different is very significant, like the impact of changing opamp?

Added on September 21, 2008, 8:51 pmHi Chua, sounds like a good upgrade! Where can we buy this RCA and silver cable for our upgrade?

I notice that you didn't do the BA caps mod to your OPA... is that because you're not using the extension cable?

As always, thanks for sharing all these valuable info!

This RCA is free gift from audio-gd. The RCA feels real solid, which I found on those good quality amplifier RCA connector.

I had a bad experience with ZERO RCA. I once pulled out the RCA cable together with RCA ground plate. (the whole RCA external ground plate came off). So getting a full solid core solid RCA (u can try neutrik from farnell, which is quite cheap)

Silver cable from Octave-electronics, kind of expensive. RM 20 per 1/5 meter.

Remember, silver cable will give u more transparency, higher high, which I need for my system. Handling those thin silver cable is nightmare if u are not skillful.

RAV: Money received and updated the list!

If silver maybe abit harsh for some system, i think maybe the OCC copper better choice, more transparency then OFC yet more musical than silver? must do some experiment

OK. Please get me some OCC cable for signal cables.

I am thinking the ground cable also need some good cable. Power ground need thicker cable. Please let me know if u are buying.

http://www.takefiveaudio.com/mall/shopexd.asp?id=790 I think this 22awg would be enough, around RM15/meter, 24awg is lotsa cheaper, just RM7/meter But shipping could cost something since shipping from canada

I think if possible try to change the coaxial RCA female too, should improves abit

CHUA the rca connecter quite good quality
ermm audio GD selling that kind of RCA plug for how much i wanna do for my CD-player still alot of things need to be done now just
half only not enuf parts



RAV4 at last this my DIY power cable have been finalize hehehe

Chua, thanks! Yes, the Neutrik RCA socket at farnell is really cheap at RM6.50 each. I wonder what's available at Octave so I don't have to wait for shipping. I was told they moved to a bungalow house near Amcorp Mall, is that correct?

GL, yes, I agree Silver would place a bit more emphasis on treble. I prefer to have something more neutral like copper. The Neotech cable looks good actually! Take Five Audio also have Cardas Female RCA connectors for CAN$10.95 per pair. Vampire Cryo treated RCA is CAN$16.95. Quite a bit more than Neutrik but I wonder if it's worth it since gonna DIY once and then use for years... Or maybe can check if can bulk from Audio-GD if they're cheaper?

Abel, how does it sound now after burn in? I'm actually arranging to buy the IeGO cable coz they're Cryo treated and have very good review comparable with US$300 cable. But I still need 1 cable for my conditioner... unless I change my wall plate to US-type also...

I think the Neotech should be quite good! OCC copper reported to be detailed yet musical! I think if possible go for copper based RCA female, those two u mentioned are brass based, based on theory the electric conductivity of copper is better than brass, best bang for the buck copper based rca female would be CMC brand - Model 805F, around USD10 per pair

Sound more smoother now but wont expect very huge different now i run-in at my CD-Player i can say not bad for the price ratio.

i plan to sell my Transparent power cord actually i got 2 Transparent power cord but different model another 1 i keep first

Vampire has a model that's made using OFC Copper but cost a lot more at CAN$23.95! The CMC at US$10 per pair is a good price comparatively.
