I believe ZERO DAC has gone a long way to make it to the international scene. It is very important to squeeze out more juice from the source. OPA Earth in the DAC section is further affirmed  by more users of it. However OPA at the headphone section depends to be seen.

I am very satisfied at how ZERO DAC perform with the OPA .

HI Rav,

My suggestion is to try to get a clean power source and try again. if u have inspected the pcb for any 'shorts' then just measure few of the output voltage like +- 15V, 5V, 3.3V. that would be faster.

I have thinking how to improve the sound of ZERO. Hopefully when the components come I will get some testing done.

The latest news on OPA using for Headphone has some bad news.
The output transformer is not able to supply enuf current for the headphone section.


Good news is u have got good OPA in your hand and audio-gd is running out of stock. plus some improvement is being done to the power supply stage.
