I'm just good at photoshop, however i oversharpened the pics a little bit to bring out more detail

I'm letting the Zhalou burn in with listening and no matter at which volume, it sounds very effortless already. The K701 is effortless by itself, i mean it has no fatigue at all for me but invites me to listen to it for hours. The Zhalou improves that even more but i guess thats something every good source will do

EDIT: Seems the volume pot in the amp is of cheap quality, i get some small L/R inbalancies. But there is a sweet spot without any inbalance.

I would guess that they are the same upgrades he's been providing, but he's simply extending the offer a little longer.

echo1: Yes you will, but you'll need a litte screwdriver skill

@all: Can i change the JRC5532 in the headphone amp with the OPA2604 eddie sent me?
Both should be dual amps if i'm correct. I cant find any datasheet for the 5532 so i dunno if they're pin compatible, but i guess so

Where do you get a datasheet on this? There is nothing on the Cirrus website.
