QUOTE(Termophilus @ Jul 5 2008, 06:22 PM) Unfortunately, I'm a windows user  My sound card is an audigy with a frontal panel where I can plug optical or coaxial input/output. What in particular concern me is if in a situation of sound processing, like feeding an analogical input (like a guitar) and elaborating it digitally (in a software) with the asio drivers of my sound card, I will have a digital output from this source to give to the dac (or not). Hope this is possible, even if I know its a strange question. Thk! I'm sorry but I don't have a Creative card. You might want to ask the ppl over at Head-fi, I know there are a few of them who are creative users. |

QUOTE(ccschua @ Jul 16 2008, 07:40 PM) After I bring the coaxial home compare to the digital link and try on my setup, I dont notice much difference. Either my system doesnt give the difference or there is a difference I cant discern. May be I need a good transport. Any guys here using Grado? I have the SR225. I used to LT1364 and LT1358 and LT1057 and have been swapping them a few weeks. I think I have yet to find a "perfect" opamp in the headphone section. It's quite nice having a different flavor every week =) |

I think we should contact Lawrence and see if he could give a "special" price for the HDAM since the new ZERO comes with standard OPA627 and LT1364.

Who wants to share? I think I'll be getting the more neutral Earth. Any takers for the Sun? Thanks to ccshua and Godluvsxs for finding these. I thought I was done opamp rolling for a while  |

Chua, Thanks for the info. Has the sound matured? Still minor difference between Sun and Earth? Steve, I asked you to put in my order earlier, I think you missed it. Just a reminder |

Optical or coaxial out from your soundcard to zero dac. You'll need an optical cable or coaxial cable.

Coobra,
Your signature caught my attention. Suffering from tinnitus?
Added on August 21, 2008, 5:52 pmI was reading head-fi and I couldn't find Penchum's review on the HDAM. Do you guys know which page is that review on? Thanks

If you use the preamp mode, wouldn't the headphone opamp also affect the sound?

QUOTE(Kyl3 @ Aug 31 2008, 09:41 PM) Oh crap, I just ordered sample for LT1364. Should I wait or just buy from farnell? I ordered the samples twice. The 1st time it took really long, easily 1 month plus. But the 2nd time was much faster, a week or so. Maybe you should wait for a week or two. |

RAV4,
I think you should get in touch with the bulk supplier. Maybe he can send you a replacement unit and waive the shipping for your trouble...

@chua
Good to hear that. I think the Moon will suit Grado even better with a warmer tone....
@leshita87
The Earth/Sun is power hungry and you won't be able to run 3 without modification. You can still use it, but the SQ is not so good. You'll do fine with one Earth/Sun in the DAC section and another opamp in the headamp section. eg. LT1364, LT1028...

Woohoo... I'm can't wait. I'll bank in tomorrow.
I hope the solder will hold up during postage. Quite a few already complained that it's quite fragile..

chua,
I heard you mentioned about the Volex 17604 power cord. Where did you get yours? Noticeable improvements with the Zero?

That's odd. They say this cable is like the Zero for power cords Have you done the cap mod on the Earth/Sun? |
