Been overseas for a bit and just got back.  As the OP, great to see this thread going strong and that Zack keeps improving.  Remarkable.  I'll hop over to his site to see what's new.  Enjoyed reading these mods.  I too agree that he should have his own logo.

I say give it a name rather than an acronym, and go from there.

Not sure, but there are too many products with acronyms and a clever name will be infinitely better in the long run. Paradox (best so far imo), Mad Dog, Thunderpants (terrible name)....I'm sure Zach could come up with a good name that is meaningful to him and resonates with his fans.

  You're blowing my mind.. how do people use speaker amps for headphones?  Isn't the emotiva like 50 watts per channel?  I have an Aune T1 and a Maverick Audio A1.. the T1 I had to turn to full volume to get a good volume level with 0 gain..  it also has 8 and 16 gain settings so I assume the 8 gain would be fine for t50rp..  I'm using the Maverick A1 with it and it sounds great, I only have to turn the volume knob to about 8:50 on the dial for music listening

 
It's closer to like 8 watts with the conversions, but I've found that using speaker outputs worked quite well with planars. I preferred using my speaker amp at home with my ZMF. 
 
Also, I haven't been on here in a while because of both school and the fact that I don't really have much of a desire to look for anything new (other than a more portable headphone I guess...but IEMs are working so far) because the ZMF+SA5000 combo satisfies everything I want in my setup. My review will be posted on Headfonics some time next week. I just need to get a white background to take pictures of the ZMF+removable cable he lent me, which surprisingly is a challenge.

I just take mine in front of a window and then expose for the headphones and leave the window completely blown out.  Ofcourse it's a far different look than most reviewers are probably looking for.
