took the the two screws out (one of them holds the ground wire) figured the fuse would be located inside where the power wire connect however i still dont see how you access the fuse.

Hi guys !
I've just received 4 OPA627BPs and 2 browndog adapters
I've put them into my Zero with a dual OPA MOON in the DAC board, and.... WWWOOOOAAAA !!
the sound is clear, the soundstage is amazing and all the frequency range is represented perfectly !
it's a wonderful combination !

I've been posting in this thread on and off for a good while. Recently I upgraded to a different DAC, but I kept the one I bought from advice I read here.
I just wrote a shoot-out post, hopefully folks will have some fun with it.

PSA DL-III DAC vs. TIANYUN ZERO DAC SHOOT-OUT

In regards to using this as a preamp, are there an specific amps that pair well with the Zero? When my Zero arrives I'll being running it through optical into my Macbook. I was thinking maybe the Little Dot Mk3?

Mine was shipped from Hong Kong, duty free, but charged GST by post office. I'm from Alberta.

So I'm thinking of parting out my complicated passive speaker system with integrated amp and separate DAC and just going Zero DAC ---> SR225i / HD555 / Audioengine A5's.

I'm sure there are some comments in the thread, but is there any reason why you shouldn't use the Zero as a pre-out to a self powered monitor such as the A5 or A2? Thanks.

Does the Zero still default, when you switch it on, to non-pre-out mode, sending the full signal out? If so, I wouldn't recommend it as a pre-amp.

So you are saying this may damage a pair of self-powered monitors? Or there is some other issue that this might cause?
