Looks like a mini audiophile gathering...

Someone bring multiple power source adaptor... coz will need one power source for the notebook

I will bring along the power source adaptor. Anyway another "attraction" for Bro mADmAN to attend, I got one extra LME49720, attractive? Emm ... I would like to have a cup of Caramel Macchiato and the LME49720 is yours

GodLuvSxs, can I COD with you slightly early at Ampang area ard 10:00-11:00 AM, Maybe Bank Of China or Ampang Park or any place the convenient to you. I need to childcare my two kids as my wife going back to home town for "ChingMin" and properly not able to reach home before 2:30pm.

Finally COD with Godluvsxs at KL Sentral. nice seller with a lot of freebies.

My setup

Sony DVD player NS76H -> Zero -> Soundstage 1.5 -> KEF Cresta 10

1st hour burn in, very shiok. test with Janis Ian, breaking silence and Guess u had to be there.. now can hear the bass and mid better. Improve soundstge. Bass is punchy, but is a bit stretch causing boominess at certain frequency.

next fourplay chant (pa pa pa ra pa pa ra papapapapa),andy Mckee art of motion, and NAIM test CD

Now the bass and instrument and high are begining to shine. as if the hidden instrument begin to uncover itself.

next come the women voices III, jennifer wernes, rebecca pidgeon, alison krauss. The vocal is more true, the speaker is disappearing more and more (but still there)

wait for next 24 hours.

really worth the investment and wait

I wan my zero as well
Very gatal already

Finally met with Godluvsxs today and COD at Bank OF China.

Just tried out for two hours, I think Zero need at least 10-15 break hrs, b4 you can feel the real musical sound from Zero.

Hi Guy, can someone show me some picture of the LM49720 installation. TIA

1 review only so far????

cmon people..post up ur initial impressions la.......

It means they all still busy listening to it

The Zero need more times to burn in, I Reckon.
The reason I bought this Zero, mainly due to my two spare DVD players and I've plan to pair with my old DVD player as below
Samsung DVDP Or Toshiba DVDP -> Zero -> 13 yrs old Harmon Kardon AVR35 and my currently dedicated set is Marantz CD63 + NAD 320Bee.

Just tested two hours this evening, I reckon the music produced from Zero abit slow compared to CD63. CD63 much crispy, forward and detail sound, but a bit bright sound and also produce minor cripping when it's play those high b**** music. overall, it's not fair comparison - CD63 is direct RCA out and Samsung DVDP + Zero is Optical. I hv not try out to use Zero as preAmp pairing with the NAD 320Bee yet, anyway this my last option as I still think the Zero can pair well with my DVDP after sufficient hour burn in.

Sorry couldn't really post any thing last night as I was totally wiped out..
In fact I fell asleep while listening to the Zero on my SR80s... Barely managed
to wake up and put the SR80s on my table before collapsing to bed again...

Well first things first, met fellow LYN forumers GodLuvSxS, DarkEvilz, Csschua, Madman
at KL Sentral Starbucks... very friendly people and fun to talk to. Managed to get a chance
to try Madman's Beyers.. which was worth the wait..

Didn't managed to hook up my Zeros to my PC till around 9... Well the Zero's are definitely
a bang for their buck.. Really happy with the performance.. The amp section drives my
AKGs perfectly and all the DAC part is solid in processing of the songs I played.. All the
small details such as the gasp as the singers take a breath in the middle of the song, the
tiny little background sound which you'll never notice on a normal headphones are all
brought out by the DAC...

Now at work but I left the Zero on to burn it in... Can't wait till it reaches the 100+ hour
mark so that I can swap the Opamps...

Ya...For those who brought the adapter +opamp627ap. Please dun swap it out with original yet...familiar with the original opamp, then after some time swap it with better opamp..BANG!!! U will sure notice the difference and improvement.
