Just finished reading this thread. Thinking hard about Zero DAC but i have few queries as below: -
My current HIFI setup is as follow: -
a) Cambridge Audio 540A CD player (wolfson WM8740 24-bit/192kHz DAC) -> Cambridge Audio 540A Amplifier -> Sonus Faber Concertino Domus
Question (a) - is Zero DAC (Burr Brown OPA627)better than Wolfson DAC?
b) Slim Devices Squeezebox 3 Network Music Player (Burr Brown 24-bit DAC) -> Cambridge Audio 540A Amplifier -> Sonus Faber Concertion Domus
Question (b) - Not sure what model Burr Brown DAC used in Squeezebox 3, is it better than Zero DAC?
My music taste is towards classical, new age, jazz, easy listening, is OPA627 suit my music taste?
Cheers!

QUOTE(GodLuvSxS @ May 12 2008, 11:48 PM) Actually It's hard to answer your question cos we didnt have any direct comparison between the ZERO dac with OPA627, CA 540A and Squeezebox 3, maybe can invite one of our "ZERO with OPA627" bring along his unit to your house for direct comparision? Your 4k Sonus Faber Concertino Domus is quite an attraction  It's still best to do audition for comparison. Who can offer a 'demo' Zero with OPA627 or default OPA2604 for auditioning? I stay around Puchong. I just found out Burr Brown PCM 1748 24-bit 96kHz DAC chip is used for Squeezebox 3, anyone know how good is this PCM 1748 compared to AD 1852 24-bit 192kHZ DAC chip?

QUOTE(abel @ May 14 2008, 09:18 AM) i think better wait arrived of second bulk order ask GodLuvSxS to come to K.L have a small TT to audit n compare ask some volunteer to bring some DAC ....   That's good suggestion. Btw, i heard from other website, besides DAC chips, opamp, the circuitry design in PCB also affect the sound quality. Just imagine Mercedes engine(DAC/opamp) in Proton chasis (PCB) compared to a genuine Mercedes car. |

I would google around before make up my mind, if everything ok, i would make an order and PM GodLuvSxS. This post has been edited by auronthas: May 14 2008, 10:25 PM |
