i don't know, depends on your ears and your setup, and personally haven't heard the W5000

but with my stax lambda pro system there's no problem, so smooth and refined

with my DT880s which can be grating even on warmer systems it's bearable but through tubes

1st of all, thanks for posting the subjective results of the shootout.

A couple things I wasn't clear on are, is the Ori modded unit the latest revision? In doing research in this forum, it seems that the original versions of Ori's board were a little light on bass and that has been corrected in the latest revision. Is that correct?

Also, was there any listening with a speaker system or was it only through headphones? If speakers were used, what speakers were they?

Thanks again for the post. It helps the rest of us make informed decisions.

Just a quick comment on this issue. The majority of the first version came back for an update. There might be 3 or 4 units that still contain the first version of the discrete output circuit, because the owners felt they are "good enough".

Thanks Ori. I can safely assume this was a current version that was being compared.

Now, speakers or headphones? I'm a hardcore speaker guy. DIY speakers actually, and have read many comments on this forum that speakers show much greater differences in source components. I'm looking forward to feedback on the differences of the Oritek modded Zhaolu vs. the Zapfilter Zhaolu in a high resolution speaker system.

Thanks!

Jim,

Philip and I are going to try and get together this week and complete part 2 of the comparison with speakers. All details on equipment and such will be posted with that thread.

Cool! Thanks for the prompt response. I'm really looking forward to hearing the subjective results of the comparison. Will there be others besides you and Phillip that will also be listening and offering opinions?

Thanks!

nope, it's actually the one that is included with the stock Zhaolu

Ori makes good cables though, just ask him about it.
