Tweaking a version 09 with the latest kit Peete.
Everything works perfectly and I start running.
Peete thank you for the help and active monitoring of Zero.

Greetings from France.

Excuse my bad English.

I purchased the Zero dac (09 with OPA627) a few months ago. While I've been happy with overall SQ, the noise level when listening to with my Shure se530s is way high, plus I hear a lot of interference at times (cellphone).
 
I'm going to try the FrankenZero mod and see if it help. Will post back the results!

Hi Peete, I PM'd you, but didn't get a reply yet. Do you still have FrankenZero kits? Thanks!

Sorry about the delay in responding...I've been very busy this week and have not checked the forum in the last couple of days. Yes I have 2 kits left if you are interested in one.

Hello,
 I recently bought ZERO version 09 with OPA627 and USB and I'm quite dissapointed, because stereo crosstalk is only around 55dB (!!!) and noise level around 85dB (at 1/4 of max volume, at full volume noise level is 65dB). I wanna ask if this is normal or if it will be better after "burn-in" (my Zero is only about 50hours "old").
Second question is about FrankenZERO MOD: Can I use this mod for ZERO 09 version? And is the whole MOD just about replacing CAPS? (or did I miss something?)
Thanks for answers.

Wonder if it'll be possible to replace the opamp buffer section with a discrete or tube buffer...
