The Zhaolu uses one of the PM179X series DAC chip. According to at least one comment it is supposed to be a good chip. Why all the need to modify, and at great expense, a Zhaolu when you can buy something better sounding straight out of the box? I don't quite understand why anyone would spend their time getting something of little sonic quality, and then shell out good money to turn it into something half decent. Has the manufacturer ever considered making a decent DAC from the outset?
