Hi all,
Since I got few pm about the opa627ap + browndog adapter. I guess is best for me to kick start 3rd Bulk.

I got 11 pcs Browndog adapters already arrived at my hand and ready to ship out. But the opa627ap need to order from my oversea friend. Min 4 units to kick start this bulk. ETA will be 1-2weeks after collected some deposit (RM15) to avoid FFK.
This might be the last bulk if all 11 pcs Browndog adapter finish coz too much hassle for me..sad.gif

Price will be
Browndog adapter (1 pc) =RM9 (with opamp), RM10 (alone)
Opa627AP (1 pc) = RM45.5
Poslaju fee+handling = RM6

note: 1 complete set will consist 1 Browndog adapter + 2 pcs opamp

Please pm me if U still interested..

ok... i think ive decided on my final setup with the Zero....

ESI Maya44 -> (ZERO + OPA627AP in DAC) -> (Cute Battery II Headamp + OPA627AP) -> Beyerdynamic DT990 '05.

the battery has a slighly narrower soundstage than the zero's amp..but i dont really need soundstage since i listen mainly to metal.

ive always found the zero's built in headmp a lil weak for the DT990 for some reason...its as if there was some sort of veil to it.. almost muffled..dont get me wrong...they sounded good... but i knew there could be better. the battery has alot more power and alot more detail at the same volume level. everything is crisp and clear and even the bass is tighter and punchier. and more importantly..it didnt sound weak.

the only issue i have with this setup is that the 627 + browdog is a little "tall". the guy i bought it from placed the 627 in removable sockets so the sockets add to the height. which means i cant close my battery amp properly... LOL

anyway...i guess i need to get off my scrawny butt and get down to chopping up some Canare L-4E6S for some decent RCA-RCA cables.... currently using the RCA cables that came with my Firestone Audio Fubar II.

Added on April 22, 2008, 3:13 pmby the way mike... any chances of getting the OPA627BP ??

those on the zero thread in headfi claim that the BP is far superior than the AP

OP627BP?
I think my friend got stock..let me check for ya after work tonite. Price should be about the same or 2-3USD more..

mikelanding, I've just put down my order for the Zero DAC with GodLuv and would be very interested in your OPA627. However, I think the shipment can only come in by end of next month at the soonest. If you don't mind, hope you can wait till GodLuv orders the units before I put down my order? I don't want to have a set of OPA627 with nothing to plug it into. Thx!
if Zero arrive end of next month, then U can start order now because is a bulk order. Need minimum 6 pcs to proceed. Once payment received, normally took 2 weeks+ to arrive.
I got ready stock for the browndog, not much, but only sell together with opamp.
Let me know if U still interested.

QUOTE(thh1212 @ Jun 24 2008, 09:38 AM)
Err...Zero build in chips is OPA2604.

OPA2107 is higher-end compare to the stock.

OPA 627 is even higher-end than OPA2107, but 2 OPA 627 and an adaptor are need to replace 1 OPA2107 / OPA2604.

About the OPA 627 the most common opamp used in the DAC section, i don't think so. It's depends on the users preference and the OPA 627 cost a lot of $$$.

ya..U are right about it. smile.gif



Hmm...maybe I should try ask my supplier got opa2107 or not?
How much is opa2107 cost?? If I can source them cheaper, maybe can bulk it also..smile.gif

Guys, one set (i adapter + 2 OPA627) not enough for mod? need extra OPA627 to complete mod?
i only planning to get 1 unit actually.

1 set should be enough if U just put in on DAC section of Zero.

For amp section, I dun encourage U to use OPA627AP, there are other better opamp
