I will try to "persuade" audio gd to send some as free gift LOL If not, I will consider paying for it since it's manufacture by CMC, quality is there Wanna try OCC copper instead of Silver though, my current setup does sound abit bright to me Dun wanna add anymore brightness to it

thanks man, china very scary

The audio gd's rca female seems to be quite solid, quite be quite bang for the bucks, i will try asking the price. I may go and order the OCC copper cable, anyone want to join? together share share the shipping, shipping from canada to malaysia is abit too expensive

The hifidiy mini USB dac is kinda attractive, might consider bring in one unit to review it's market potential

Hi RAV4

Yes, Old Klang road (Sri sentosa)   0.1 is not suitable to internal wiring, but if you want to try the different betwwen the 0.1 & 0.3 i have some used one.
i dun know how much cost for it, free to charge lah.. cause the thing not cost a lot and i guess 10cm is more then enought for you.

No worry. It is totally safe. the surgeon is a specialist from the shool of HIFI.

Oh, I'm not scared of the soldering. That's a simple enuf job. But to try and listen, then remove n resolder to compare .1 and .3 is quite cumbersome so having 2 units is useful for comparison. I believe that's also why Chua bought 2? ;-)

Added on September 30, 2008, 11:17 pmEddy, you mentioned about Black Gate caps so I did a search and found that they're indeed very costly and also scarce. Some are like Euro 10 each! So where do you get your stock from? Actually just curious but I think modding BG for Zero is rather extreme? Might end up to cost as much as the unit itself...

BG might be abit overkill for ZERO, best one would those Elna or Nichicon, quite bang for the bucks If possible i think both the input and ouput rca female should be replace with better one, again garbage in garbage in, nice in nice out

Anyone here tried snipping off the caps on the headphone board? I'm afraid the Grado will sound too bright after.

I have Earth in DAC, LT1364 in amp.

I've yet to put on the Sun, love the Earth. Maybe it is placebo but there is a slight hint of more detail after snipping the caps.

Do I need to solder the earth wire to the RCA ground? I don't plan to change the RCA jacks now. Maybe just make a knot?

The snipping of the caps bring better transparency, lifts a veil that I didn't know was present!
