how much did you pay for the DAC all up after shipping and exchange rate? because my understanding is that the pre-order price that coem are offering on the AD1852 is cheaper than buying direct from eddit, but also....
and here's the deal killer for me, straight from an email from Daniel...
Zhaolu dac comes with JRC5532 installed, but comes with DY2000 and LT1057 for free for you to play around with. The power capacitors have been replaced with ELNA capacitors, digital circuit capacitors have been replaced with OS-CON, the DC-blocking capictors have been replaced with MUSE Bi-polar capacitors. Not sure what we want to call this one yet but something like special "export version" or something like that. Hahahaha...
So there we have it, a modded zhaolu delivered to aus with LOCAL support and warranty that is modded and costs less than buying a stock straight from overseas =)
only issue is the wait, but hey i'm willing to wait for this deal!
edit: oh and did i mention they're great guys to deal with! some of the best customer service i've experienced from an online retailer. they're passionate about their product and are dedicated to keeping the customers happy!

not sure how much the JRC5532 is worth but the rest of the upgrades are the same by eddie under blackgate upgrades. so its $164USD($221AUD) total for A-1852 version, $217USD($293AUD) for A-CS4398 from Eddie not including shipping. so ya its prob a bit cheaper to buy it from COEM if you getting it shipped here. if not Eddies price on the CS4398 seems to have a bigger price difference. with discrete amp upgrade + shipping $370 sounds really good
but it seems eddie has ran out of the discrete amp upgrades
and COEM dont offer it.
