The Channel Islands VDA-2...a Fine DAC
I am really enjoying my VDA-2 also. I currently use mine to drive a Sherwood s-5500II (tube amp). It is a really great sounding dac in this setup. Soon it will be mated with my Unico because I have the Buffalo32 coming. Can't wait to have a mini dac shootout. Regardless of the outcome the VDA...- BeerCan

Audio-gd Reference 1 DAC (56 K warning)
I have been watching this thread also because I want one I think 1X oversampling = non oversampled . . . at least if my math is correct For me it is different, I like oversampling but do not hear or see the need for up sampling.- BeerCan

The "mod your Zhalou" Thread
I am not using foobar so there is no way to upsample my source. I am using a squeezebox. The static comes from the speakers. somtimes it is barely noticeable, other times it makes me run to the set to turn it off. I tried changing the opamps back to the factory ones and the static remains. Crap.- BeerCan

The "mod your Zhalou" Thread
I am getting a horrible click/static in between tracks. I found one album today and it was very bad. On some cd's it is barley noticable but on others it is horrid. Anyone else experience this?- BeerCan

The "mod your Zhalou" Thread
Hi 1'st post. I have a zhaolu D2 that I have been doing some op-amp rolling on. I do not know if this is the right thread for it because I am not sure if that is really "modding" So far I really like the opa2132, the lm6172 and the ad825 (looks like I have most of the mfg covered). Right now I...- BeerCan
