Question to those who own upgraded ZERO and Denon D2000: What DAC/AMP(maybe separate DAC or AMP) will be the next(not a huge) step in getting better sound quality with Denon D2000?

Asking, cuz dont want to wait some parts to be in stock and just buy. Maybe Audiotrak Dr.Dac2? Or 0404usb?

I am not sure if I understand your question, but the zero has a built in dac and amp that will sufficiently drive the d2000's to extreme volumes. If you really wanted an external amp then I would suggest the Little Dot's that Penchum has reviewed here on head-fi.

You don't want to wait for the Zero Dac, but your would rather just go and buy a Dr.Dac2 or 0404 usb? Well I guess patience is a virtue.

Before with the stock 5532s the D2000s could be a little sibilant, but now wow I am not bothered at all even when turning up the volume higher. Thank you guys for the great recommendation! And thanks again Penchum for starting this whole Zero DAC craze.

Thanks!

When I think about how much better it is going to sound, once everything has matured, I know you are in for a real treat! It only gets better from here.

Agreed. It can take time to get quality audio at such ridicules prices, but I consider the wait to be worth the effort in the long run. Popularity almost always creates delays in stock.

As much as I would like to call this all a misunderstanding, it really does seem like he's ignoring you! I've just shot him another email (needed tracking info) and got a reply within the day.

Truly boggling.

I've got an email from him today to confirm my shipment, really strange he isn't contacting you...so far he seems an excellent seller

 

[Enthusia]

Can anybody decipher this for me? I just sent Lawrence an email about getting a new volume pot.

Quote:

Dear Sir , Can you buy one in your side ? It only cost few HK dollars. Can give it back to you. Shipping is more expensive ! Thank you very much ! Best regards, Lawrence

 

[Meliboeus]

what i have understood is that..he wants you to buy a new pot at your favourite local dealer...he will then provide you a cash refund for your purchase instead of sending the replacement pot...but...i may have misundestrood, as you can see i'm not even a native english speaker

That is what I thought too! But who knows I sent him another email regarding the matter.

 

[Enthusia]

Wow he is amazing at responding to emails.

Dear Sir , OK! I'll send you one! Thank you very much ! Best regards, Lawrence

 

[Meliboeus]

Aye, I've had no response from him. Not for my emails, nor the Paypal dispute.

Looks like things go great, so long as there isn't a problem.

Vendor reputations are built on overall customer satisfaction, which does include doing the right thing in the case of issues. I hope Lawrence steps up to the plate on this and resolves the problem.

Just received my Zero DAC from Lawrence. Ordered it July 20, received it August 1; not bad!

I am using the Zero with a new set of HD-650's, so I need to give them 100 hours or so to burn in. I have a question: Is there a switch to alter the Zero for different impedence levels on headphones? I know the HD-650 is a 300 Ohm beast, and the Zero is so far capable of driving it louder than I care to listen, but for some reason I thought there might be a switch or something to set. Sup?
