I'm using the stock opamps now. I only have a few hours on the zero. I will spend more time with my new toy this weekend

I have only used the stock opamps in the headphone section. Unfortunately, my Zero does not get much play after purchase of my other DAC, but I am impressed with this little unit.

I think you are right. For the money, it is a great deal. I like the flexibility too, but the DAC side is what I use most. For new folks, it can save them big money starting out, which I like the best.

I got the 1469's on Monday (1/28) but nothing since. I ordered all samples at the same time. I want to get all before I open it up and do my testing!!

Received the LT1364 today so looks like they are sending them out separately... maybe when they got stock?

Hey all,

I just ordered the Zero myself

Can't wait for it to arrive....

BTW, how does the Zero sound like with Grados?

Several folks in the thread report them sounding great! Many Sennheiser and a few odds and ends, but everyone is pretty happy all around.

That's great! I was hoping things would turn out ok.

I finally got my 1364's and 1361's yesterday (2/1). Now will find time today and tomorrow to swap out these babies! Evidently they are just shipping each separately.

I was little bored today and decided to heat my soldering station and mod my Zero a bit. I changed 47kOhm resistors for dimming the front leds. Now they are perfect.

I changed the 3 RCA connectors to Neutrik's proper connectors. First my Zero powered up only the headamp but no leds and DAC board. I checked everything again and put some electrical tape to the DAC board underneath the RCA connectors and everything is fine now.

Tomorrow I'll make new interconnects (short enough) from Tasker C850.

my LT1364 gets warm, what is wrong? perhaps they are not suited for the zero because my OPA2604 doesn't run hot. Can i use LT1469IN8#PBF in the dac? how many swifting can i do before i damage my socket in the zero?

My LT1364's will get warm too in headamp. They have worked fine for week.

No problem. I've had one in my #2 Zero's DAC for a while and no ill effects!

Are yours not running hot? why do it do that? what opamps are you using in your two zero´s
