Yeah i know the ZERO DAC needs time to burn in, i was just giving my first impression out of the box thats all. I also agree with you guys that the stock opamp in the headphone board are crap and should be change if anyone plan to use the headphone out.
I going to get a LD MK V or IVse in china when i go there next week. So i have no plan to upgrade the opamp in the headphone board.
BTW, Penchum, have you had a chance to try 2 x AD797 on browndog in L-channel and 2 x AD797 on browndog in R-channel in the headphone board?
i read a while back that you have got them. So total of four AD797s in headphone board, they definitely fit thats for sure.
I dont have enough to try myself only have 2 x AD797 on browndog.
