Default Pulled the trigger on upgraded Zhaolu 2.5A

Well guys...after trying to decide between the Zero dac and the upgraded Zhaolu, i bit the line and bought the Zhaolu.

Thanks to 304290 for selling it to me and answering all my questions about it before hand...also, thanks for the pics.

I got it from a member here, seemed like a good deal and came already upgraded by Eddie Wu. I was going to do the opamp upgrade and maybe some more on the Zero anyway, so i thought i would grab the zhaolu as its already done. Was blown away to see that the op amps are in a socket and can be changed as easy as my Go-Vibe V3. NICE TOUCH...

Upgrades were bypassing the caps, replacing the caps at psu with blackgates and upgrading the clock with tcxo. The Op amps were also changed to 2x 4562s.

Im real excited for this...ive been waiting a DAC for a year now. Cant wait till i finally get it =)

Here are some pics of the upgrades..let me know what you guys think..
