GodLuvSxS..
wen u going start d 4th bulk?

statement 1 : Yeah. Your fren scolded u for not recommending.
Statement 2 : After u recomended, he also scold you bcos u cause him to SPEND $$$$.
Statement 3 : So when he listened to ZERO and found the ZERO no good, he will scold you also.
Statement 4 : But if the ZERO is damn good, refer to statement 1.

In anyway u do, u are scolded. That's what frens are FOR.

Yes. That was a promise to gatevalve that I sold my DAC. I have in fact bought 2 more ZERO DAC from GodluvsXs, refer to the bulk thread. 1 ZERO DAC is for a nice guy who has a >RM 30k setup in his possession. (not nice to disclose who lah, he just want to use it for headphone)

Dont forget, ZERO dac still has room for improvement. component upgrade/output stage bypass as well as HDAM, and a mysterious opamp someone is working on, headphone like Grado reference, etc

zero fan is growing to ZERO clan.

I believe in value for money, Zero is proof. and they are many other things that can be value for money, such as Asylum power cord.

Hi Abel,

Anywhere to get an used zero dac ?

Thinking of bulk order, but taking  too long to wait.

Just got the power cord (so called Asylum). From external, I know this power cord make my stock cable to dust. going to try soon.

Do they have any QED Silver Anniversary XT Speaker cables or Chord Rumor 2 ?

These are the power cord I ordered Volex 17604 --

First, I'll state that I do not consider these industrial, mass produced, low margin 14gaX3 shielded powercords to be an 'upgrade', but rather, they are the minimally acceptable powercords for audio use (which is why I'm posting this in the General Asylum). For whatever reasons, vendors generally provide generic 18 or 16ga PCs, and I've never encountered a situation where the Volex 17604 or 17605 (2 and 3 meters) have not produced a major improvement in all areas, soundstaging, resolution, dynamics, extension, emotion.....Simply put, everything is 'mo betta'.
These powercords are ideal for anyone who wants to judge whether powercords actually make a difference or for judging what value a more 'bespoke' and expensive cord is providing.
Comparisons - In comparison to the 'Asylum' cord, the latter provides higher resolution, which may be attributable to the removal of the plummyness imparted to the bass (in comparison to most OEM cords, the Volex bass is tighter and more resolving). But realize that a premade 'Asylum' cord will cost about 10x as much, or if you DIY, each major component, the cable, plug, IEC, will cost as much as a complete Volex cord. My own DIY starquad powercords (IMO) and many other aftermarket cords are substantially better, but whaddaya expect for <$1/ft for the whole dang cord?

If you're unsure as to whether powercords make a difference, want maximum bang for the buck, or want a cheap baseline for evaluating audio specific cords, do yourself a favor and buy the Volexs. Many electronic distributors cary them - Allied, Newark, etc...

However, I am disappointed it is not Belden cable as used in the Asymlum power cord. As to how much improvement, I think it does not sound clear to me, but I will just leave this power cord to the ZERO DAC. For less than RM 50, I think it barely meets value for money. Alternative is to replace the stock plug and connector.

Hi,

How much a coaxial cable costs ? A value for money one. Where to buy ?

I saw someone trying to sell a used one for more than RM 600, costs more than zero dac.

Mind to share.

hifi is very expensive hobbies .... dont get poison ....

Hi RAV4, it should be 8000A
you are not using NAD 320BEE meh?
How is Audiolab 8000A compare with your 320BEE?

They mentioned 100uF 25v OS-CON

Anyway, waiting for Chua's Earth and Sun impression soon since he's playing with them ATM So far his initial impression for "Earth" are "natural, smooth, neutral and transparent, it's like one step better from his OPA627ed ZERO, kinda like from a Proton jump to a Honda
