P.S. Suggestions are always welcome!

Interesting. I wonder if the DAC will be Apple Lightning compatible, so It can be used with digital out. Any timeframe for this ZO3?

P.S. I heard about SmartVektor, but what is FullSpec?

only thing i worry about apple compatible is that it would require apple certification and cost additional $$$

 

i typed fullspec into google and got this back:

 

 

Customize

You can choose from a selection of pre-designed audio cores and a variety of peripherals to configure a solution for any application need.

  • Choose from either our LoFreq or FullSpec vitalization ranges, both available in consumer or professional performance grades

 

not really sure what it is though...

FullSpec is a term used by those at digiZoid to refer to the full frequency encompassing version of the smartVektor technology. The implementation in the ZO2 and ZO1 is considered LoFreq as it only covers the first 1khz right now.

If you have the time, you can find a copy of the patent describing in detail about SmartVektor and FullSpec using Google Patent.

Thanks guys, sounds like the ZO3 will be even more interesting, or capable. Now if only they could show us the FullMonty on this device cool.gif

I would pay extra for a future apple compatible fullspec version.

I'd pay more than that for a non-apple compatible FullSpec Version.....

Just a quick question to owners of a ZO: in the lowest (green?) setting, is bass on the standard level you're used to getting from your headphones, or is bass actually decreased from that "0-point"? I ask this because I'd like the flexibility of either emphasizing or de-emphasizing bass-levels.

The green setting does not decrease bass. The ZO never decreases bass.

QFT, well I didn't personally experience THAT much of a difference on ZO2.3 but boy... my v2.1 went from like being muddy to the point I was very disappointed to completely positively overhelmed after like 20 hrs of burn in. I didn't believe that burn-in could also affect amps until I got ZO2.1

Yea, I don't know about the latest board. But my original ZO2.3 was exactly like you described the ZO2.1 you have. My latest ZO2.3 with the latest board actually has changed very little. But for someone new to the sound signature it will be fun to get that milage on their new toy.
