Hurr, try removing the capacitor by heating one pad and then tilting it to one side, repeat the process for the other side and keep cycling until cap comes out. Works for me.

yeah and dont put ur solder gun too long at the pad will spoil ur pad just heating for 1-2 sec ermm Nichicon MUSE is good enuf y change to FC hehehe

Do you guys have a direct link on farnell to an ALPS volume pot that will fit the ZERO? I got the RK27 model but it doesn't fit :/ The box is too big.

Wow... look at all those green caps...

Chua, those are bypass caps? They're too large to fit under board that's why you extended the leads?

those cap are thick ......

Can see the DAC power supply is nichicon Muse. Known for power supply clean and fast.

when u want to slot in Blackgate std.

Green sausage is impresive. it is another step of improvement even on first impression.
*
i wont put Black Gate STD for my Zero is abit waste eheheeh i will put for my CD63 overall i still prefer CD63 sound .... tongue.gif
Zero detail is nice and dynamic but vocal slightly fake wut i call digital.When i wanna listen fast music n pop song i will connect my CD63 to Zero tongue.gif

what i mod :-
Putting Panasonic FC for Power section , Elna RJH for opamp supply , Nichicon Muse for DAC , Elna Silmic II and Silmic for regulator, puting 6N silver wire for RCA output with Neutrik RCA female plug tongue.gif
