lol..i also dun speak that lingo..
But Rm410 for a external DAC sure will pwn those PCI sound card kaw kaw....I am comparing those who use PC as source...Nowaday, most medium price range MOBO come with at least optical output...
I would said is another alternative to PC user who have audiophile sense...

RM410 really
definitely worth to try it

Below is the comment from head-fi.org. This clears the doubt of what the noob like me keep asking the same question all over the net.

" basically DAC performs in analogy to a good player dac circuit like that in marantz CD 6000. In turn, u can couple the DAC with dvd player having optical out/with computer optical. In this way, u dont have to buy a quality cd player and dvd player. " dunno if my assumption is correct.

--------------------------------------------------

As a DAC itself, comparing the Zero DAC with the internal DAC of the Marantz CD6000 OSE, I see they have different personalities. The Marantz is more crispy and more "in front" sound, while the Zero DAC is more relaxed and "analogic", but without losing much in details. After few months, I must admit I prefer the Zero DAC, more relax and charm, expecially with classical music and jazz!
With the pre-amp stage on, I see the sound is not impacted, I mean either in bad or in good. As headphone, it provides power, control and soundstage to my Sessheiser without any hint of noise, but I cannot make any significant review here (I don't have any dedicated headamp to compare with).

IMHO, I always think that it's good to opt for external DAC instead of soundcard, it provides more flexibility from time to time, no matter you are integrating the DAC into HTPC or doing proper hifi setup

Feel the power of standalone DAC!!! Get this, then if happy upgrade to DA-10!!!

Btw, ZLs are not hard to come by, we have two 2nd hand here soon.
