Hi dude! Kingwa just came back from Hong Kong, they also just replied my email which was sent during the weekend. Stay tuned, he's a reliable guy, no worries! Will submit the payment later ... hope to get them next Monday, so I could send it to you guys asap and enjoy it during Raya holiday

not scary, man Lotsa great thing to be found there, heaven to us audiophile, especially budget one

Which Switchcraft RCA model are u refering to? Seems abit too overprice ... with than kind of money, can try the revolutionary Eichmann Bullet Plugs, i think Octave does carry these too, last time they quote me RM32 each ... after some extensive review by user around the globe, they really do HEAR some improvement over conventional rca plug ...

Eddy, if possible please do try this, worth a gamble!

The audio gd's rca female seems to be quite solid, quite be quite bang for the bucks, i will try asking the price. I may go and order the OCC copper cable, anyone want to join? together share share the shipping, shipping from canada to malaysia is abit too expensive

The hifidiy mini USB dac is kinda attractive, might consider bring in one unit to review it's market potential

I will try to "persuade" audio gd to send some as free gift LOL If not, I will consider paying for it since it's manufacture by CMC, quality is there Wanna try OCC copper instead of Silver though, my current setup does sound abit bright to me Dun wanna add anymore brightness to it

BG might be abit overkill for ZERO, best one would those Elna or Nichicon, quite bang for the bucks If possible i think both the input and ouput rca female should be replace with better one, again garbage in garbage in, nice in nice out

Some owner did try the RCA female and removal of the capacitor situated beside the RCA female

Wow ... cool down guys ... just did my cap snip (those cap around the RCA output) yesterday ... to my ears the difference is quite significant, lots more transparency till the level of abit fatigue listening to ...

Anyone of you agrees with me?

I think most probably it's the less roll off high frequency, before the cap snip the highs just kinda extend like "dwinnnnn" now become "dinnnnn" Hope u guys know what I meant

So far anyone one compare the ZERO with discrete opamp with any entry level CDP?

Emm ... as ccschua mentioned, it's the more extended high makes me feeling abit fatique, before the cap snip the highs were gently roll off ... more easy to me ears, although it doesnt sound accurate

Hi eddy, that was impressive, actually is it going to be hard to install the clock? Check the price, around RM75 ... quite within budget, but just that it seems hard to implement in ...

Guys, those who are using foobar2000 as playback software, please do consider go and download the latest V0.9.5.6, to my ears it's sound more balanced, vocals are more natural, and less fatigue listening to, go and download ... software does plays a difference too

Ok guys, discrete opamps are here ... Time to calculate the handling:D

International Shipping: USD30 x 3.4=RM102, RM102/24pcs of opamps =RM4 per opamp
Local shipping + packaging: RM6(poslaju) + RM2(packaging with bubble wrap and envelope) = RM8 per buyer

Some poison: Emmm ... highs sound abit harsh compare to quite well burned in Earth at first listening, vocal certainly thicker than the Earth, soundstage emm ... it's smaller than the Earth, well that's the nature of warm sound Still gotta burn in more to see the real beast ... my EARTH still havent well burn in yet, I guess just roughly around 50hours ... casual listening all the time

Emmm .... hope u guys like it !

How about the sound quality?

Emmm .... i think it's the transparency makes me feel that the high is abit bright, too much of transparency reveals my music's bad quality recording Vocal is abit thick to me ... I mean I could feel the singer's vocal but the more closed in sound cant clearly describe the surrounding ... emmm ... I think EARTH still the one for me


Hope u enjoy it over the weekend ...

emmm ....

Earth - neutral not dynamic either warm, quite an allrounder here I love this very well
Sun - dynamic, more extended at both end, forward vocal
Moon - surprisingly quite transparent, as chua mentioned it's even more transparent to EARTH, thick vocal, bass is there but seems like bass impact not as well as EARTH ... emmm ... not quite my cup of tea, sounds abit closed in, i think it's gonna take at least 50hours to show it's true color

Emm ... i got only one EARTH, sorry to tell you that ... u got the CD-63 off hifi4sale? Cos I seen one selling few days ago ... Heard that bypass the original HDAM does makes it sound more transparent, emmm ... CD63 does sound musical and the HDAM is quite influential to the sound, IMHO maybe u should play with the internal cable connecting to the RCA female, try with high quality copper cable see how it sound Sometimes I feel that musical sound is abit more difficult to tune compare to transparency sound, just hope to you could improve further in details and dynamic without losing the musicality

Marantz CD63 mod list - lotsa mod done for CD63 could be found here ... hope it helps
