Has anybody tried the sound difference between the Coax and Optical? I've been doing some research on cables (considering getting an AC Cord) and came across a few articles that says the Coax output from entry level CD/DVD players are far superior to the Optical. This is because most manufacturers use cheap 10 cents optical module for their cheap players.

I'll give it a test when my Zero arrive of course, since I already have both coax and optical cable in hand but am curious with existing owner's experience.
*
someone tested with a CD player optical vs coax and said that the coax sounds better....forgot who. i think it was scottie...

anyway. i did the same test with my ESI Maya44.

optical cable that came with the zero vs DIY Canare Coaxial cable. both plugged in the same time and i tested by pressing the switch on the front of the ZERO.

no discernable difference.


BUT.. a colleague of mine borrowed my cheapo optical cable for his PS3 + HTiB. then he recently just bought a phillips RM199 optical cable. and he says the difference between the cheapo cable and the phillips is HUGE.

Yeah. I am just wondering how smooth is the sound after the mod. In fact, I just wonder any more improvement to mod can be done.

I wish during the Aug 3rd bulk, I could listen to your mod and hear the difference, with DY2000 as well.
*
lemme know where and when the meetup is and ill try my best to make it. PM me in case i dont check this thread.

anyway, according to empy theres quite abit more that could be done....but due to lack of parts and lack of time to order the parts (he was leaving for aussie) he didnt manage to do the mods.

Zero dac hmm  smile.gif
I am interested in getting 1 but i wonder can it drive high impedance cans like dt 880 600ohm and sen 650?
Anyone try zero with these cans?
Mind giving some review how do they sound when pair with it?
Thanks
*
tried with Senn HD650 (300ohm) n yes can push no problem... my DT990 is 250ohm so no problem. 600ohm dunno.

synergy is ok with my DT990. but i listen to metal, so the stock headamp is a lil too laid back for me. i ended up using my battery cute ii amp connected to the zero.

and the zero does NOT come with RCA cables.

err.. no rca cables hmm but it comes with coxial cables right?
How if i get a rca to mini to connect to predator amp or it is possible using coxial converter?
I dun know about anything desktop rigs and currently i planning to pair with my laptop which has spdif output
How bout littledot mk2++ heard they able drive high impeance cans but are suitable for my laptop which has spdif output
Please advise
*
no coaxial....only cheap ass optical.

coaxial converter? convert to wat? u need the rca-mini to connect from zero to predator.

ur laptop spdif is coaxial? then u just need a coaxial to coaxial cable to connect from laptop to zero then rca-mini to predator. if its optical then can use the optical cable that comes with the zero

LD MK2++ no idea.
