Now, to rise the bar up...
How about replacing LPF SOIC8 opamp?
Is this the LPF SOIC8 opamp to the right of the 68kohm resistor?
Think i'll sort the caps first! lol....de-soldering the LPF will be tough!
) although probably takes much longer to get here..
The cap next to the side you have to tilt a little bit, as there is some irritating metal in the corner of the top case (look inside it, you'll see)
As there's more room to play with - the 2200uf cap can be glued a few mm to the right...i.e. plenty of clearance from the metal ridge in the case lid (& still leaving enough room for both 220uf's.)Excellent, I think I will order this tomorrow, seems similar (well its not solid..
I've also started using double sided tape today (in a speaker crossover), seems to work really well and very easy. Only problem I see might be that if its really tight it adds thickness. And those 12,5mm caps are real tight in z2
No worries - I'm always doing that tbh! - trying to take extra care with the Z2 (i didn't have Z1 to experiment on) - hence these mods are all new territory! - F1 should arrive soon so should be up to speed!You're right, I am mixing things up in the late hours
Every time I grab a soldering iron and open Z2 I consider it destroyed.
I'm getting that kinda reaction also! (even after soldering in the 68kohm resistor in paralell.) It feels like you need one Z2 to practice on - just to perfect any mods.....Keep us posted about replacing LPF SOIC8 - it is the one adjacent to the resistor? - kudos if you can upgrade that for sure!Every time I grab a soldering iron and open Z2 I consider it destroyed.
If it ends up working - it's an unexpected pleasant surprise!
No, further down. closer to the jacks.
Gotcha! - OP275: at least it's a bit less congested - thanks for the headsup.
Give it go and report back.
Hmm, high impedance dynamic earphones... i don't have any... i have more than 10 earbuds but all of them are 64ohm or less :/Give it go and report back.
And welcome to the club!
PS: Z2 actually works best with high-impedance dynamic drivers earphones, and struggles a bit with BA/low impedance ones, so it should be a good match, lucky you are!
Go to VE Zen2.0 & Asura 2.0s
I have 32 ohm emx500 and 26 ohm CH9T, it drives them OK.
