Looks very promising. As im in the market for a new headamp (my Zero died on me after 2 yrs of faithful service) and I might try going the DIY route, this would fit the bill nicely. I'll most certainly will keep an eye on this topic for the days to come.   What would be good dac companion...

Hey all, about 2 years ago I purchased a Zero dac. It has been working flawlessly for that whole period, untill last week. There's no more output on the HeadAmp aswell as in the RCA outputs. I hear the relays clicking when I switch input or when the dac receives a signal, but not a peep from...

Hey guys, after letting the zero burn in for about 100 hours, I rolled the opamps today. I bought 3 x OPA627's from Lawrence, so I fitted 627's in the dac aswell as in the amp. I must say that for listening through speakers this combination is simply awesome, but for headphone pleasure's my...

I cant believe it.. My Zero arrived today After spending over 2 weeks at the customs office, it finally came in today. I've hooked it up via the supplied optical cable to the front-bay of my x-fi extrememusic and its burning in as we speak. Couple of questions tho.. (Ive already checked...

Hi guys, I also own a K340, but since I have no reference material, I would like to know how I could find out if I have the so-called "bassy" version or the "light" one... Any pointers you guys could give me?

Hey all, first of all I'd like to thank you guys for the _hours_ of reading pleasure this topic gave me. I have recently obtained a Sennheiser HD-580 and an AKG K-340 and I'm thoroughly enjoying them, but I always thought something was missing. When I heard the Senn and the AKG through a...
