Review: ZERO 24 BIT/192KHz DAC/Headphone Amp/Pre-Amp - Page 48

If I remember correctly, the Intel Mac Minis have optical in and out while the G4 versions do not.

I popped into the post office during my lunch break and lo and behold the Zero DAC arrived!

Ran home and switched it with my Entech 205.2 and it sounded sweet for the half hour I had to listen to it.
I can't wait to get home tonight and give it a proper ear full.

Yep, in the same boat on that one

I'm going to call them up again tomorrow and probably give them a bit more of an earful this time - tracking says the service is "Parcelforce 48" and it's been way more than two working days since it arrived at Heathrow - who knows maybe we'll qualify for the 25% discount for one-or-more days late... http://www.parcelforce.com/portal/pw...diaId=25900662
(though if so, do we get the refund or does Lawrence? Either way I'll be trying to claim it )

Oh right.. sorry to hear that/seems yours is behind mine in the system I think then at least in your case, maybe it's time to pull the "£150 compensation included in price" lever?

EDIT: oh hang on, if yours hasn't made it as far as being considered under the Parcelforce 48 service, maybe it's only Lawrence who can do something similar at his end? :\

Yeh i have to say i'm pretty p****d off! Parcel force are bloody useless. I don't mind the delay i just want to know where it is at the minute. I could relax then. Im just going to have to wait i think.

Meanwhile, I guess you could distract yourself by reading up on/deciding which ones you want+ordering some replacement op-amps

I haven't tried Texas Instruments yet (got plenty arrived+on the way for the time being!), but both National Semiconductor and Analog Devices do free samples with free delivery (even to UK addresses, up to two units per product code, which is all you need..)

Damm, I had no idea postal was so unpredictable there. How is customs there? Do they inject a week delay into everything coming in? I was thinking that might be part of it, but you are talking about a long month (December) with a departed China date of 28th, so that is 13 days so far, of which, the 31st and 1st are holiday, so that leaves 7 business days so far. Hummm. That is even bad by USPS standards! Hang in there! If it takes much longer, we'll start an arrival pool, winner gets something free.
