Ok guys .... MOON is here!!!!!!!!!!!! Lush and Warm, I'm for sure getting this! The current offer is buy any 2 discrete opamp free one MOON, since everyone got their SUN n EARTH, so we are concentrating on getting moon.

MOON = USD25 x 3.4(yes, ringgit is getting weaker) = RM85 each
shipping = USD30 x 3.4 = RM102 as usual settle later

let's make a deal here, we are either getting 9units, 12units, 15units ... so it would cost RM57 each ... explanation: Buy 6 units free 3 units (85x6/9=RM57)


MOQ=9 or 12 or 15

I'm still thinking whether to get another 2 hdams for my headphone amp out but not sure what the combo should be...
hmm.gif  =  rclxub.gif

Should it be either:

dac = earth , headamp = 2 X moon
dac = sun , headamp = 2 X earth
dac = earth , headamp = 2 X moon
dac = earth, headamp = 2 X sun (this is the most unlikely combo i think)

I listen to a wide variety of music from vocals, RnB, trance, instrumental, jazz
Anyone with any suggestions?  icon_question.gif

if use 3 discrete opamp tegether in Zero i think u need to mod the power source is it?
*
It's advise to mod the power source if plug in 3 discrete opamps, cos some headfier reported that the bass loss some punch with three discrete opamp inside the DAC smile.gif Since you are planning to get a dedicated headamp for your Darth Beyer, i think EARTH in the DAC + LT1364 in the headamp should be ok but of course it might be abit bright smile.gif

I guess with MOON in the DAC + LT1364 in the headamp is better, cos the AD1852 sound's belongs to the PRaT category, bright n lean with MOON's slight thick tonal might balance it ... sometimes I find the EARTH inside DAC abit thin for vocal, that's why I'm getting the MOON trying to give more depth and body to the music biggrin.gif

SUN + MOON free 1 MOON?

I suggest you to take SUN + EARTH free MOON, then u got all sort of sound ready to play around.

For you guys information, pricing for SUN n EARTH are below:

SUN USD30x3.4=RM102

EARTH USD23x3.4=RM78

promotion buy any two discrete opamp (sun, earth and moon) will FOC a piece of MOON discrete opamp. Please take note, last bulk's buy 1 discrete opamp (SUN or EARTH) free 1 EARTH discrete opamp is no more available. Thanks smile.gif

Today did some upgrade for the ZERO DAC.

First thing I do, remove the original Gucci RCA and replace with the RCA (free gift from Mr He). Next put the connecting wire using Silver cable. This tiny silver cable is thinner than hair and so flimsy.

Next solder a wire to the RCA ground and connect OPA earth ground to this wire.

Put on the volume, connect the Volex 17604 (corrected to British polarity) and off the ZERO dac sings.

I was like 'shock' and awe and my jaw was wide open. The sound is more transparent with very good imaging. Worth my day.

When the OPA ground is not connected, I measured some running AC voltage of about 0.15V (floating voltage). Connecting it to ground force it to zero. I prefer to connect the OPA ground to the RCA ground (not to the chasis ground).

wow, i think that silver cable increase the transparency alot .... wow ... makes me hand itchy already! The different is very significant, like the impact of changing opamp? biggrin.gif

If silver maybe abit harsh for some system, i think maybe the OCC copper better choice, more transparency then OFC yet more musical than silver? must do some experiment biggrin.gif

Chua, thanks! Yes, the Neutrik RCA socket at farnell is really cheap at RM6.50 each. I wonder what's available at Octave so I don't have to wait for shipping. I was told they moved to a bungalow house near Amcorp Mall, is that correct?

GL, yes, I agree Silver would place a bit more emphasis on treble. I prefer to have something more neutral like copper. The Neotech cable looks good actually! Take Five Audio also have Cardas Female RCA connectors for CAN$10.95 per pair. Vampire Cryo treated RCA is CAN$16.95. Quite a bit more than Neutrik but I wonder if it's worth it since gonna DIY once and then use for years... Or maybe can check if can bulk from Audio-GD if they're cheaper?

Abel, how does it sound now after burn in? I'm actually arranging to buy the IeGO cable coz they're Cryo treated and have very good review comparable with US$300 cable. But I still need 1 cable for my conditioner... unless I change my wall plate to US-type also...
*
I think the Neotech should be quite good! OCC copper reported to be detailed yet musical! I think if possible go for copper based RCA female, those two u mentioned are brass based, based on theory the electric conductivity of copper is better than brass, best bang for the buck copper based rca female would be CMC brand - Model 805F, around USD10 per pair smile.gif
