I think no need SPDIF ready notebook because we got the USB to SPDIF converter LOL Anyone can bring along notebook? Sorry I got no notebook on my hand

mADmAN: Try 100% to be there la, more ppl more merrier ma

Sorry, Andy! I forgot to tell you when I'm ready to reply your PM, the connection is stuck and i'm unable to reply you. Anyway, you got PM reply

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

Finally i got the internet connection and see how you guys' unit performing! Currently surfing at CC while waiting for GF to finish facial

utellme: Sorry for unable to provide pictures about how to sweep opamp correctly cos of no internect connect at my staying place until I back to my home Hope that any kind soul here able to provide you the desired picture!

I think you guys should let the stock opamp burn in for at least 100 hours I'm planning to get the LT1364 opamp directly from LT head office, the sample unit is too darn hard to get, estimate cost should be RM20 each, should be quite worth the money. Wait till bro kwekeugene review his unit with LT1364, see how well it sounds

Okie, guys! Gotta go now, been surfing for 4 hours in CC and finally GF is ready to be released from facial shop Any question please contact me at 012-5690433 since I got no internet connection, thanks Enjoy your ZERO

Well, actually I'm pondering whether to get LT1361 or LT1364, the LT1469 should be ruled out cos it sounds quite bright compare to those two, maybe I pay bro BSOD to ship over one of this LT1361 to bro Kwekeugene do a A-B review since he got the LT1364, maybe he would get poisoned Last time I seen one review between OPA2111 and LT1364, the LT1364 comes out as a more all round performer, I think it's quality should be around OPA627 lvl

EDIT:

- Reviewed with Sennheiser headphone, I guess I'm more on LT1364 cos I love balance sound

Anyway, a notice to all interested audiophile: THE SECOND BULK KICKS START!!! Please proceed to counter get yours!

Hi guys, I just back at my own home! Last time I did inquire price from the local distributer of LT, guess what?! He charge me RM30 each for 12pcs and shipping from Singapore not included!!! I guess that's a no no!

Wow, seems like you guys enjoy the DAC very much, I'm so glad I guess few more days later, the stock OPA2604 will reach it's peak, that's time for opamp swapping

Kwekeugene: Did you tried LT1364 on the DAC section? I'm eager to know how it's going performing

mADmAN: How the LME49720 fare in the DAC section? great?

Great, just hope that you dont throw it like wrap tissue paper XD Anyone here wanna try OPA2111? Might bring in some along next bulk, it's also quite an all-round opamp, price should be around RM30, you guys may google it

Hi bro, I guess you only need 1 set of OPA627 since you are stick with speaker setup, just change the OPA2604 in DAC section to OPA627 is good I think the local price should be abit steep. Ok, I'm here officially announce a no service fees charge LT opamp bulk order.

Details:
LT1364 USD4.58/each x 3.2(conversion rate) = RM14.7 (Most balanced of the bunch, highly recommended)
LT1361 USD4.25/each x 3.2(conversion rate) = RM13.6 (Nice mid but lack of transparent high and bass)
LT1469 USD5.85/each x 3.2(conversion rate) = RM18.7 (Most detailed of the bunch but mid and bass not that great)

Shipping fees is USD34 per shipment, sorry for expensive rate cos it's the LT only settle for FeDex no other choice, let's say if total order unit is 20units, then USD34/20units = USD1.7/unit is the shipping rate, ok?

Emmm ... background noise is obvious, i guess maybe you try to shift the power cord's plug to another power socket, cos last time I put my Aego 2 on a power adapter with lots of plug on it ends up background noise appear, after I shift it, noise no more And bro Andiboi , you try to make sure every single cable is plugged properly cos loose connection may contribute to noise And did you ever tried to swap opamp? Maybe the opamp leg aint plugged in properly. I'm here to assist you to solve the problem, hope to see the result of the troubleshoot. Thanks

The stock opamp tends to be sound tubey, the high certainly doesnt shine while mid and bass certainly more dominating, i guess the OPA family opamp certainly not your cup of tea, try the LME49720 I provided along, please do give the ZERO a chance before classify it as an "you compromised" unit, the LME49720 sounds more detail, fast and bass is tight. Maybe you anticipate a RM4k worth of sound in this RM400 unit, i guess that's why you are disappointed

I think you can get it from Moderno, try PM him

Every new opamp need to burn in to reach the peak, around 50 hours it would have almost reach the peak Anyway did you roll the opamp correctly? Every opamp got a small circle on one corner, make you follow the same direction where the default opamp at. Fail to do so may damage your unit, no joking!

Bro, i think you should only try replacing the opamp in DAC section (the big board), unless you got two same opamp then only try to swap the headamp section (small board), imagine your car one side is 15inch wheel while the other side is 16inch wheel, it would be very imbalance, an imbalance setup wouldn't gives you best performance. And a reminder for you guys, only use those double type opamp not single type opamp unless you able to browndog it About the LT opamp, i think those who want should let me know ASAP, so that I could arrange the bulk faster

I could only know the best way to get opamp is order online since i dont quite know where all those component shop and prices here are way overpriced. Bro Andiboi, if you encounter any question, please do seek for reference here first before take action, cos a slight error might damage your ZERO dac, dont be shy, just ask! I will try my best to answer you

Emmm .... I just cant see any LME49720 impression in DAC section after few days of waiting? You guys threw the tissue paper wrap into rubbish bin ade?

I think every single OPAMP need at least 50 hours of burn in to get around 80% - 90% of the sound

Looks like LT1364 performing quite all round, you should try it at the DAC area

Now we got the ball start kicking, anyone else? Target a 20 unit bulk

Emmm ... it's ok, it's usually takes time to make a doubter to become believer That's why I always mentioned always give around one week time for the gadget to burn in, it sounds lots different

So still no body wanna follow up the LT opamp bulk? mADmAN? ccschua? dark_evilz? utellme?

Details:
LT1364 USD4.58/each x 3.3(conversion rate) = RM14.1 (Most balanced of the bunch, highly recommended)
LT1361 USD4.25/each x 3.3(conversion rate) = RM14.0 (Nice mid but lack of transparent high and bass)
LT1469 USD5.85/each x 3.3(conversion rate) = RM19.3 (Most detailed of the bunch but mid and bass not that great)

Shipping fees is USD34 per shipment, sorry for expensive rate cos it's the LT only settle for FeDex no other choice, let's say if total order unit is 20units, then USD34/20units = USD1.7/unit is the shipping rate

still got 12 unit to complete the 20 pcs bulk, or should we change to 15 unit bulk?

I think bro utellme only using it as DAC connect to his speaker setup, rich dude which got place and money to setup speaker LOL So Bro what's your final combination in your ZERO right now? OPA627 in dac and LT1364 in amp? All opamp well burnt in?

LOL if plug in LT1469 maybe would be more revealing than OPA627

I guess just keep playing music would be enough ... preferable those music with high dynamic
