Review: ZERO 24 BIT/192KHz DAC/Headphone Amp/Pre-Amp
Aug 19, 2008 at 3:56 PM Post #5,311 of 9,388
Still waiting for mine here in NYC... I never got a tracking number or anything so I have NO IDEA what to expect... everything else I've ordered from China has come USPS so I have no idea how long this will take - but with all these early reports I'm just DYING to hear these things! Thinking I'm going to start with the Sun since more here have experience with the Earth (and original HDAM which as I understand is the same as Earth...). If this does what I'm hoping, I'll be one happy music fiend!

Ah I see. Thanks Alex. Might be worthwhile upgrading these with better quality voltage regulators. It' something I've been looking into but the shunt regulator modules are 47 US a pop...

A better quality part though is easily affordable and might be very very worthwhile for the H/Amp section. I don't know what the voltage specs are but thats easy enough to find out with a cheap meter...

I'm going to look into this after the current project is completed so I'll revisit this topic at a later date...or you can take the lead on this one Alex

This is an equal opportunity contribution around these parts (pun intended)

Either way what might be your suggestions with regards those parts Alex ?

Peete.


PS I keep popping in and out today...so I can check the board every few hours

Same here...no shipping notice or tracking number yet (bought them last Sunday). I don't expect any news for a few more days anyway since Kingwa is off for a few days ( I think I read that somewhere...I don't recall where).

I'm not worried about it though...they'll get here when they get here ...

Gotta go again...see ya later fellow Zero freaks

I ordered mine on the Sunday. He sent me an email saying the HDAMs had been sent on the Wednesday. They arrived on the following Monday by TNT transport courier.

Seeing they were delivered by courier, someone needs to be home to sign for them as well.

I bought mine this Friday just gone(15th). Not received any tracking details yet. After his email yesterday regarding the "TommyLee" character, I responded by asking if he knew when they would ship. Not heard anything back yet.

Sounds like a good idea.
I will try that again tomorrow if I am able to persuade my friend to give me his solder tools again

Did you sort it, matrix200?

Doh...it's that easy ? (slaps head)

I wonder if I can hit 1000 posts by Thursday ?

A double celebration would be cool

Just sent and inquiry off to Audio-GD. The delay on mine might be the 4 extension cables I asked and paid for. Like the one Lawrence makes but shorter...that could be why I haven't heard anything yet. Then again they may have shipped already..never know unless you ask

When you find one, please mail me the code. I'll try installing it on a couple of women.

Thanks Ned, I was going to say Australia but thought I'd ask. That has a bearing on postage speed since your in the same part of the world. Should only add a couple days though for us on the other side of the dirt ball...

Must be a nice place Ned...I'll mapquest it...would like to see the GBR before I buy the farm ...plus Aussie's like to drink beer as much as us Canuckleheads
