Hello All, I have been tweaking the ZERO DAC and have been reporting back into review thread. I am now considering adding a 6N6P tube to the DAC as a further (and some might say drastic) mod. The modification is detailed on this page and I am looking for some assistance in translating the...

Following on from the snippit mod I performed earlier in the week, I have been comparing the sound to a ZERO DAC with an HDAM fitted. All comparisons were done using an Onix SP3 amp (modified with bypass caps and some rolled tubes) into a set of well broken-in Quad 22L2 speakers. Having two...
