I received my Zhaolu 2.5A from Eddie about three weeks ago. It only sounds slightly better than the dac in my Pioneer VSX-84 receiver. Switching back and forth between the two is barely noticable. The unit I received even had a few upgrades. The two caps at the psu was replaced with blackgates, the occilator was replaced with TCXO, and the caps were bypassed. I've switched between the stock opamps, the upgraded ones supplied by Eddie, and LM-4562. The LM-4562s did have the best sound to me which made it slighty better than my receiver. The Zhaolu wasn't as good as my receiver with some of the other opamp combinations. So now I'm considering selling it because after everything that I've read, I was expecting it to be superior to the dac in my receiver. That was not the case.
