Daily update: The ZEROs still at the Kastam there, heard from the logistic representative that high chance it cant reach by Thursday due to Kastam's high traffic volume, let's see how it's going to be!

Anyway my supplier send me a great news, he's shipping me along some decent Choseal brand 4N OFC interconnect as freebies, hope that it's performance is up to par with Canare's , so guys please choose one, RCA-RCA or RCA-mini?

Ok, noted. How about others? Rock_Fever, Andiboi and Kyl3?

I think the 4N OFC is quite ok, i'm going to do some DIY cable experiment soon, trying to build a better quality cable with the same price offered around in lowyat.net tongue.gif

Emmm ... I'm from Ipoh Garden, may I know where your place is? If you are staying nearby me, we can arrange somewhere around Jusco or Tesco. Else i think DBI area is the best place, central of the city smile.gif

Phew, just back from work! Too bad to tell you guys that I only able to deliver the ZEROs once I'm back, if nothing goes wrong, I would be back on 31th and once I step down from the plane, will straight rush to Serdang there to collect the ZEROs. I guess I would be arranging COD session around evening time, at maybe KL sentral station.

NO need special tool to swap opamp. Just use a smaller screw driver to slowly, carefully pry out the existing opamp.
Then slot in the new opamp WITH CORRECT ORIENTATION.
Be careful not to bend the pins of opamp or browndog adapter.

By the way, all people inside my 2nd bulk list, U all got PM. I will try to sent out 1-2 days time after the bank in..

Cheer!

IMHO the ZERO dac would sound great with Edifier S530d, because the S530 is known for great highs, neutral mid, which may abit less enjoyable for vocal playback, while the stock ZERO dac does come with "thick" sound and warmish , the synergy between them should be great!

mADmAN: How's the OPA627 sounds in the ZERO? Great?

sounds alright imho.... the DAC section probably didnt affect much....now waiting for the opamps for my amp...no money to pay mike yet..have to wait til after gaij.

DACs from my experience dont really get much effect from opamps. amps on the other hand are significant.
