But those same opamps could be used for the Zero....in fact the Head Fi deal would preclude you from having to source these parts at all, and pay extra for the BB chips since they come standard from a couple of vendors as a bonus upgrade of sorts that are selling the Zero right now. LC 's head fi member's deal includes the LT1364's in the H/Amp section along with the previously mentioned 627's. I think that deal now includes an option for the Alps pot ? It's been a while since I've asked LC what's what WRT to the members deal so the last bit about the Alps pot could be wrong. Just an FYI for your consideration. Peete.

So that way i can also have EAX 5.0 as well........im ef gonna look at this

 

[DaMnEd]

I think EAX trough spdif is only possible with Creative’s own X-fi's solutions, Auzen for some reason is not allowing this.

Yeah I got lawrence to install alps for me. That sounds intimidating lol. I will look into it once the novelty wears off, I would feel awful breaking the thing so soon after getting it XD

thank you for the suggestion

Don't cut those....is my advice. I can't tell you why other than it doesn't look like its in the audio path and may be necessary for stability of the (for example) clock can ....someone more learned than I can hopefully point the use for those.

Peete.

Got a question..I have had the Zero for a while..I am using a coaxial from the computer, can I hook up a toslink from my TV, will the Zero allow me to have both..I know I can't play at the same time but to switch between them.

Thanks

I would assume yes.. but give it a try as I have not done it myself

Hiya PP, yeah I agree completely, definitely do not cut those! Replace 'em with better polystyrenes if you want, but I have learned that lesson before -indiscriminate snipping is not good!

Absolutely you can have both and switch between them, I have done many times.

I Think my Zero starting to mature now. Last hour it sound crap but now bass get tighter and sound seemed to be more transparent. WOW

 

[StratCat]

Well, I don't know what to say:

I've spent the last several days catching up from page ~370 (where I last posted) to page 575 (with another ~130 pages left to go). Dayem! You guys have been busy! And I'm envious!

Looks like another day or three for me to get current, and then it seems there's no way I'm going to be happy leaving my ZERO stock anymore.

Good work, gentlemen.

Carry on.

If this thread reaches 1000 pages I would then be forced to get one of these!
