I think thre is no retailer for ZERO in Malaysia??

To Rav, Dybre,

the collection will be 8.00 pm at Sunway lagoon.

let me know if u can bring your zero and the headphone for demo or just want to do collection.

demo for?

If u want to try the Franken ZERO , i can bring my unit and compare to the stock unit but we have to go to starbuck.

i really wish to try ur franken zero, but i guess i will just take the stuff,, since i'm going there with my GF to have dinner.. she would kill me if she knows i come there purposely to try audio stuff.. lol ... i will try it next time in your house.. i really want to try it.. best if you could provide service to modify mine as well..

Any recommended coaxial cable for zero??

DIY Belden 1694A with Canare RCAP will do, quite decent and able to transfer signal precisely

Hi Chua, I only have an old entry range Senn... and I left my headphones adapter in the office so can't use also. Looks like it's just collect... unless you have the adapter and you don't mind using an old Senn.

Hope to see u all at 8.00 pm at the Sunway Lagoon main entrance. Just for delivery, no demo, perhaps later when Steve come down to KL.

Will be there Chua. And some coffee if you have time. Have you completed your mod yet?

Wow, Steve will be at KL on this 21st Dec ... ready for have a taste of DAC100? reporting yourself here It it convenient to hold it at Chua's place?

Why not. Lets have the modded CD63 as benchmark.

Now burning in my DAC100, hope it fares well My Aego 2 really limiting it's potential, hope to experience it's real power during the coming audition ... So it's just me and Chua only? How about other? Abel? RAV4? It's best to have more gadget, so can test around

Sorry folks to Rav and Dybre, I have to postpone the collection to Saturday night around 8.00pm .. will keep u guys informed.

guys the earth opa i jus plug it in rite ?
wat do i do with the white wire ?

It's for grounding.
no need to bother if you wanna change opamp regularly.

correct me if i'm wrong.

It is better to ground the earth to any pin screw, provide the pin screw is grounded.

How to ensure the casing is grounded, well, remove the earth wire and connect it to the pin screw at the casing.

in this way, all pin screw is grounded.

Grounding the OPA Earth ground to the pin screw helps to improve the vocal. without ground, vocal sounds blur. The better way to ground the OPA earth is to solder a wire to the mid point of the RCA jack and use that as ground.

Ic.
I cant find the green wire inside my zero dac.
where is the mid point of rca jack ?
any other way to ground the white wire without soldering?

between, i bought a 2nd hand earth lately.
i have two earth right now, one borrowed from sep90.
his earth hdam got two white thing at each side of pcb, but mine doesn't have it.
what's the white things for?

Older version of EARTH doesnt comes with the white cap, I forgot what the usage already

How does the EARTH in ZERO performs compare to your ZERO+?

cap?
so the newer version with cap should be better than old one?
i'll compare them later.

i like how the earth sounds.
the first thing i noticed is the bell sound, it's more natural than opa627.
and also the vocal sounds sweeter to me.
