All very ying and yangish. You'll be telling me next it is currently on a journey to the west

You can't beat that price point with a stick. When it arrives please post images and first impressions.

Same with my little dot mkIII, but with the zero I can't even go past 9 and it sounds like a beast!

Did you read page 1 in it's entirety ? Check out my mini review for even more info...either review clearly states YMMV.....read those three posts and you'll have a good handle on the Zero plus a few options....

They're cheap. Any good? At $67-90 for three, it may even be worth dropping them in the headpone amplifier section!

Thats a different seller, not Lawrence. If you go back a few pages theres been a few people who have bought from this guy (I also intend on buying a Zero from him too)

I see he includes the opa627's but does he also include the dual lt1364's?

Well according to his Q/A:

Q: Hi, does this include usb-spdif converter? Is the OPA627 installed in DAC and is there LT1364 installed in the amp? Is digital cable included in the package? Thanks!

A: Dear Kenneth, The unit include USB-SPDIF converter,but it is not include the digital cable. For the upgrade version,the main difference is the DAC chip.The old version use OPA2604,the upgrade version uses OPA627.other parts are similar. Best regards wang shuzeng

It appears not. However, you do get the ALPS pot:
Q: Hi, does this come with the usb-spdif converter? How much for shipping to singapore/australia and how long is it expected to take? Also, is it possible to get the upgrade ALPS pot? Cheers, Kenneth

A: Dear Kenneth, Thank you for your message and interest in this item. Yes,the unit comes with the USB-SPDIF converter.The shipping cost to Singapore/Australia are USD36.8/USD43 separately.It takes 5-7 working days by transportation.And the upgrade one is with ALPS pot. Pls kindly noted and for any other query,pls contact me freely. Best regards wang shuzeng

Hm I might ask him if I can get the LT's installed actually heh.

Oh and ccshua, are you putting those in place of the OPA627s (I'm a bit lost)?

That's right, no 1364's. And the 627's are on an under and over adapter, not the side by side unit Lawrence includes [I don't think there's any difference].

It didn't make any difference to me, as I wasn't intending on using the headphone amp side. And I'm very happy with mine.

But if you were intending on using the headphone amp side, I get the Lawrence unit with the upgraded volume pot as well [the stock one not that great. At least on mine it not].

I've finally decided to bite the bullet and buy the zero. Does anyone know the cheapest place I can find the zero for so far the cheapest I've found is 154USD Shipped.

 

[Enthusia]

I wouldn't go for the cheapest, I would go for the upgraded zero dac or Lawrence's upgraded zero dac with the head-fi deal. Either one seems great and the price is worth it.
