Below is the comment from head-fi.org. This clears the doubt of what the noob like me keep asking the same question all over the net.

" basically DAC performs in analogy to a good player dac circuit like that in marantz CD 6000. In turn, u can couple the DAC with dvd player having optical out/with computer optical. In this way, u dont have to buy a quality cd player and dvd player. " dunno if my assumption is correct.

--------------------------------------------------

As a DAC itself, comparing the Zero DAC with the internal DAC of the Marantz CD6000 OSE, I see they have different personalities. The Marantz is more crispy and more "in front" sound, while the Zero DAC is more relaxed and "analogic", but without losing much in details. After few months, I must admit I prefer the Zero DAC, more relax and charm, expecially with classical music and jazz!
With the pre-amp stage on, I see the sound is not impacted, I mean either in bad or in good. As headphone, it provides power, control and soundstage to my Sessheiser without any hint of noise, but I cannot make any significant review here (I don't have any dedicated headamp to compare with).

I just found out my dvd player has got both optical digital and analog out. so should be able to support the DAC, but I am not sure if the DAC will match to my tube amp soundstage 1.5 se?

If you read the head-fi thread, you will keep finding good review about zero DAC, catching up with the iBasso head amp.

Test Seven: Burr Brown OPA 627 BP on Browndog adaptor Price: £28 each (Total £56 for 2 singles) Browndog adaptor £5 Total: £61

Two words sum this chip up........ "absolute class" This is the only single chip in the test (the rest all being duals) and it was necessary to fit two single channel 627's onto a single to dual Browndog adaptor which Adapts two single-channel DIP-8 op-amps to a dual DIP-8 pinout. These 2 single channel op amps absolutely trounced anything that had gone before them in this test..... the width of the soundstage, the clarity and the sheer presence make this my choice of op amp for use in the Chiarra without a shadow of a doubt. The sound is just so "clean", so "natural", so "musical" and so "detailed" with the 627's on board. I said the AD 823 was "as close to headphone heaven I have yet been" The Burr Brown 627 "is" headphone heaven....... absolute class act. 10 / 10



wow look at this review, it is BP. must do the browndog lah. his price too high, who can get cheper..

Seriously I have not listened to head phone for a long long time. I knew the hype is there. Can someone explain how is that Senheiser HD 550 compared to listening Stereo bookshelf speaker such as B&W.

Guys how do u find the forum in Headfi on ZERO thread headed by Penchuum. Looks like Zero is getting more and more popular, due to the fact rolling amps of all kinds sorts of giving the kick. I hope to roll the browndog, once i burn it in and hope to get one pair of good speaker to replace my KEF Cresta 10 (known for smooth and clear).
