I'm just wondering why nobody has tried out Lampizator's zero dac mod (Lampizator's Zero Dac webpage) that utilizes a vacuum tube output stage.

Hey guys, another quick question.
My dad just gave me his very old stereo amplifier and speakers, and I set them up to see what they sound like. The way I have them placed is like in the pic. My question is, is the Zero too compact? Will it overheat if I keep it in such a confined space? It's only place I can keep it really.
Sorry about the horrible quality of the picture, my camera is awful.

Grados are very bright headphones to begin with, so this isn't all that surprising...
Perhaps the moon HDAM from Audio-GD in the DAC section would smooth things out? There's lots of talk about the HDAMs here - have a look around.

That Zero will Over heat most likely. The Headamp makes a lot of heat.

I don't have the link handy, but look up the FrankenZero post in the DIY forum to look into the Capacitor clip which would help a lot. Also find Currawong's post. It will mention the cap clip.
