Well, congratulations on the new job anyway! Hopefully it means more gear for you. When I lived in the UK, it snowed like crazy sometimes! Good times and memories for me.

Hello,
I'm pretty interested in this unit.
I would like to know how this headphone amp sounds with the Grado RS-1.
Is there audible hiss when using a low impedence phone like grado?
Please elaborate.

Okey an update. I have accomplished to kill my Zero  I hear no sound from the amp or the lineout, all leds are lightning. I was testing three LT1469 in my zero and listing a few minutes on the built in amp, everything sounded good! okey let's hook up my DV336i, Okey i admitt i connected it when the zero was powerd on and playing music. When i connected it i heard disorted sound for a few seconds and it have not talked to me since then  I'm gonna send the mainboard to chan so he can have a look on it. But it is holiday now so long time without my precious little toy.

Sorry to hear of your accident! 
Did you try to replace the original stock amps back into the Zero? Maybe one of the 1469 chips is bad. The DAC chip services both internal amp and RCA out) so I believe that if it fails you won't get any sound from anything. These are the only changes you can make to test it further. Otherwise, Lawrence is very good at helping after the sale! Email him first.
Please, let us know what happens.

Same from me, Davve! I highly respect you for reveling how the accident happened! Many folks would not do such a thing. Your truthfulness will help others to prevent the same kind of accident, and that is a positive thing out of a negative. Thanks so much!!

I've tried to have 3 LT1469 in the zero, and mine survived without a problem and sounded perfect (as in sound was coming from it without distortion), so that should not be the problem.
