Someone is selling a pair HERE, I gotta pass it this time

wow.. u guys has take the zero to the next N level..
guys like me with non/lil knowledge bout electronic based certainly not knowing wat u guys has added in..
only know that u guys are adding NOS to ur turbo charge mustang..
kudos to u guys for bring us to the stage that we nvr had a chance to explored by ourself..

guys... Sorry for asking very silly question.. I just bought a zero dac. How to connect it to laptop using the usb to optical converter? Is the converter using some kind of infrared connected with the zero? And do i need to change the setting in vista?

u got the converter rite? use the usb to yur laptop and for volume setting change to usb dac
wat software player u r using with it?
foobar? or winamp?

Yes.. Sorry the comp that i'm using is XP. Coz borrow the laptop from hotel. And it does only have w.media player? Possible to test the zero dac? I forgot to test the dac in jaben yesterday. Coz it was too crowded..

u need to connect the zero and the usb to optical converter via TOSLINK or Optical Cable that comes with the Zero, not some sort of infrared thingy..

What do u mean by toslink? So basically, usb cable -> usb to optical converter -> next? Coz there is nothing at the end of the usb to optical converter. And the zero comes with coaxial cable only.

usb cable -> usb to optical converter -> Optical cable [a.k.a. TOSLINK] -> zero..

how to connect the optical cable?

take out the optical cap [the square thingy that's at the optical digital in there] of ur zero and ur "usb-to-optical converter"


then connect bothe end with optical [toslink] cable:

If you bought the USB to Digital converter from GodLuv, that is a Coax connection.

PC/Notebook USB -> USB Cable -> Converter -> Coax Cable -> Zero.

All the connections are unique so it's not possible for you to mix it up.

BTW, let me know how much I owe you for the green caps and how to arrange to collect them when you receive them.

thx a lot bro.. by the way, which one is better to connect with laptop? cozxial or optical input? the only way to connect zero to headphone amp is from the headphone jack from the zero dac to the input jack on the headphone amp right?

the difference between coaxial or optical is minor only, not every1 noticed it [i can't]
for aego m, better use the rca at the back of the zero//

for me i found optical more digital sound compare coaxial more analog

means use RCA to RCA cable? to connect with headphone amp, the only way is to connect to the headphone jack on the zero dac right?

Yup, use RCA to RCA. There's already an headphone amp inside the DAC, if u wanna connect with another headphone amp, please use the RCA socket at the back of DAC.

RCA to mini cable to connect with the headphone amplifier? then cant use both aego and headphone amp together?

If ur external headamp input is mini, then use RCA-mini cable, if it's RCA input then use RCA-RCA. Of course u cant use Aego with external headphone amp together since it's only have one output
