Nope

TG-Link is ways better than USB. Use a D3 with the sndscape sound card via TG-Link and you'll change your mind.

Look more at sound card with a good digital output, some have no analog output.

How to replace the laser pick-up assembly of your CD player Would cut the connexions as on the picture make the job to get a NOS TDA1545A player ?

Not precise enough, noisier, less realistic to me. Colors and tastes...

Even 100% stock, the zhaolus are good sounding DACs. I got a 2.5 and a 3, both are great.

Quote: Originally Posted by majkel LT1028 is more transparent than the LT1363, and I've learnt how to make it stable at gain of 1, even without additional capacitors. it's described in the datasheet. Heard LT1028 and LME49710 on same CDP (tweaked philips) , I prefer the LME.

LME49710 is the single version of the LME49720 which is to me the same as the LM4562.

Have you listenned both ?

OPA2227 is also a nice opamp, although it is very slow. To focus on which you prefer between LME49710 and OPA627 only please, people who tried both in the same configuration, which one would you keep ? Regards.

Hello all, I have used with greats results OPA627s (AP and BP) in DAC outputs and CDP outputs, I have recently switched to LME49710 and find them better. Is my opinion shared here ? Regards.

Cooper shielding tape + Teflon.

Is there any way to deactivate the oversampling ?

Hello all and happy new year ! SAA7345GP has a very poor bandwith, people say the CD711/721 should sound much better without. But how can I get the signal without it ? Is it possible to get a NOS CD721 ? SAA7345 schematics. http://matthieu.benoit.free.fr/cros...ets/SAA7345.pdf...

Change the op amps on the signal exit, the pair of OPA604 by better ones: OPA627, LME49710. No need to desolder anything, they are on a socket. For more changes (resistors, bypass caps..), use a very hot iron solder, around 480°C. The solder on the PCB is really boring to remove, much more...

Hi there, I have took a look at the soundscape (odeum basic version) card with TG-link, and I wonder how to use it. I would like of course to use it with my Zhaolu D3.0; but I am surprised as this card has not speakers connexion, no CD-rom interface, no input (seems to have ouputs only)...

I have heard it many hours, stock and currently with OPA627. Unmoded, It definitely sounds better than any 2.5 version.
