Ok, now I am confused. . . So this thing can also allow time travel? This is turning out to be very versatile. . . . so if you buy one and decide you don't like it . . you can travel back in time and not buy it?? Cool

That's the plan! I do think the stock DT770s have a bit too much bass to them, so I'm very curious to see how they sound through this amp.

Maybe, but you will have turned to Steel, and we already have an Ironman!

Fair enough, well in that case, not having much to do while I wait for my Zero to arrive I've just also bought a couple on ebay ($8 per pair +$3 shipping USA -> UK!! That's like £5 or so all-in - unbelievable )
Also got the adapter PCB coming in from Hong Kong - £10 delivered ($9.99 + $10 shipping international flat-rate)
Expect I'll be doing some reviews when it all arrives (with Grado RS1 as the cans.. and maybe my Shure E500 canalphones provided I can get them repaired (  ) at some point)

He must be making good money from us for sure, Tianyun ZERO's been selling in China for only 550-980 Yuan($74-$122USD) since Dec '06, but with US dollars pummeling like a meteor, I'm not gonna complain about the price.

Yeah I mentioned somewhere (possibly in the other thread..) that I too thought about/tried getting one direct - no reply to my email so I guess they're just not interested in selling to individuals. Really glad now I didn't wait for a reply from Tianyun and just paid the £50 extra (some of which was shipping cost to be fair) to the first one to respond (Mr Chan)

I just checked the official website of Zero DAC. The input voltage is "～220V50Hz±10％".
Link: http://www.tianyun100.com/cp.htm
I'm wondering who made the change to make them also work under 110V.

I couldn't read a thing there. I bet they have an export version and a local version.

Normally the transformer has two taps to allow for dropping the voltage to 240 or 120 and this is either by switch, which I like or you have to desolder and resolder some connections. The recessed switch makes it so much easier.

Thats pretty neat. It sure would make it easy for filling orders from almost everywhere! Check where it is going and make the appropriate connections and test the unit.

Yes, but to do so you'll inevitably have to appear before your former self, so please be careful not to make any contact or you'll disturb the delicate fabric of space & time . . . and the "great magnetic field."
Trust me *looks at self* you don't want to do that.

I sometimes like to mod my amps exterior if I find something I don't like, or find something for it I do like. For the Zero, I found this replacement knob:
I purchased it from one of HeadFi's sponsors, Parts conneXion. It is a 26mm matte silver (just like the face on the Zero) and has a 6mm shaft diameter. So, if you get your Zero and the stock knob turns you off, just replace it with a nice one.
