Good idea, waiting on the Opamp business. Both the pre-amp and the headphone amp inside the Zero have capacitors, so both will eventually burn-in. I would recommend plugging in your headphones and driving them for the first 100hrs of burn-in. This will burn-in the majority of the components and give you some serious sound!

The heck, how did you get yours so quickly? My tracking # has been stuck at "Item left HK" since the 22nd....aii....

I dunno why I keep coming back and reading this thread.
It's just making me impatient for my unit to arrive.

Definitely. I think that's true for most of us!

It's because ANY news is good news when you are waiting! Don't worry though, I would bet many of them are sitting in customs waiting to be accepted and processed. When customs accepts them, they show up in the USPS system under the same tracking number you were given. You can then have the USPS system send you email updates.

The opamps should be MDIP right? For exemple LM4562NA MDIP.

EDIT: And where can I found the Browndog adaptor?

EDIT2: Hmm LT1057 only come as SOIC and PDIP. I assume its the PDIP.
Which one of these is the correct one to use?:
LT1057ACN8 PDIP
LT1057ACN8#PBF PDIP
LT1057CN8 PDIP
LT1057CN8#PBF PDIP

EDIT3: And where do one buy Analog device DY2000 (dual, metal)?

(EDIT4: Found the answer, BP
Correct one?:
OPA627AP PDIP
OPA627APG4 PDIP
OPA627BP PDIP
OPA627BPG4 PDIP)

Possibly stupid question here, but, is this an upsampling DAC? Is it upping all inputs to 24/192 before analog output? I have a Darkvoice 336i coming (eventually) and wanting a new DAC to use. I am currently using the DAC in my Denon DVD 5000 for playback of my Escient Fireball and my Sony SACD for CD playback, since the Denon will not play CDRs. Thanks for any help!

Sorry abit off-topic...

Does "OPA637BP" is a single-opamp (which need 2 to works as dual?) ?
Does BP & AP has differences? both suitable for headphone amp?

the OPA637 is single, depends on the amp design it may need to be mounted on a 2 x single > dual browndog adaptor but not always

the BP has better specs, and usually less variance whether or not it is better for audio is arguable, see Notes on Audio Op-Amps for more info

Has anyone done a compare-'n-contrast with the metal and ceramic? Lawrence is sending me a ceramic one with the Zero but if he hasn't posted mine yet, I'm wondering whether I should chip in the difference and see if he'll do me a metal one instead?

I appreciate it's all personal taste and what-have-you, but I'd love to hear what people on here have to say all the same..
