New- Zishan Z1 DSD player thread
May 31, 2017 at 10:17 PM Post #541 of 1,364
Just got a LME49720NA in the mail today and have been listening to it all day with the Zishan. Incredibly wide and deep soundstage, very 3 dimensional. Separates the instruments on recordings I always thought were "flat". Very revealing. This is a good one, get it.
I have a LME49720HA on the way and will make a comparison when I receive that one. Using Rose Mojito for the listen.

I just pulled an LME49720NA out of my Z1, and installed an OPA2134PA. :ksc75smile:

Haven't really had any listening time, yet.

I think you will like the HA better.

What is your impression on the two?thanks
I have the LME49720HA and it has what the following:
OPA2134
OPA2604
Phillips Thailand labeled 5532
Fairchild 5532 (best sounding one in this DAP of the 5532 variants that I have)
TI5532
Signetics 5532
1984 Signetics 5532
LM4562
LM833N
AD825
AD797
Burson V5i
do not have
I may be missing an opamp that I forgot to list, but along with the others it is not as good as the LME49720HA. The LME49720NA is very good too, but lacks the bass of the HA
The LME49720HA is very quiet and transparent. I won't have the deep deep lows that other opamps have but it has everything else. That is my opinion and it pertains to the Z1.

Thanks unfortunately HA CAN version is out of stock. So I ordered the pdip NA version.

By the way I made these assessments with my Fidue A83's, of which I still have some spiral dots and a new cable due in the next day or so in hopes for further improvements.

My two new babies...

After a couple of tests, I'm seriously considering breaking up with my girlfriend, cause I have a new love... The Zishan sounds amazing. I have to admit that is the first time I try a good source, but... I'm simply astonished. The Z1 and the Takstar HI2050 make a perfect couple, It's smaller than I expected (It fits on the pocket perfectly) and it only costs 26€... Thank you guys for showing me this incredible DAP. :darthsmile:

Thanks for the list. May I just ask if can you narrow it down into a shorter list, which of them is interesting to try on? I have a shortlist here, but I would like to know yours. Also I can't find a store that sells most of it, so I can save on shipping and costs.

It's available from Mouser. I just got mine.

Mouser. Haven't tried to search those in my shortlist. I hope they got most, if not everything I need. From where are you, ans how much is shipping? Haven't tried logging in yet. Maybe tomorrow.
