Anyone here thinking of selling their Zero? I havent' heard from Lawrence for more than a week now and I'm thinking of just asking for a refund.

EDIT: He actually replied just now and said he went on vacation to Thailand and he will be shipping out my Zero tomorrow.

Gavin ...



I ordered Earth, Moon and Sun v2 several days ago... When delivered I will compare each other (and also OPA627). Is there any burn-in necessary for them?

If there is someone from the Czech Republic (especially Prague), I can lend them for testing in the near future.

Yes they need at least 100 hours or more before they settle down.

Sun is more detail, vocal more forward and the bass attack and response is more as compared to Earth.

Earth is more natural sounding, deeper bass (not necessary but attack).

I have some advice to ask you guys. I'm looking for a dac and amp for my senn 650. What do you suggest, the Zero alone? Or the DIY dac a fellow headfier prefers to the Zero, plus a separate amp? Or some other dac and amp?



zero plus dedicated amp. zero doesnt have enough juice to power the hd650s properly, it'll sound quite crappy. nevertheless, the DAC section on the zero is quite good for the cash. Personally i use a zero -> darkvoice 337 for my 650s.

And yeah, sun v2 and moon do exist. newer versions by same manufacturer. mine are coming soon!

I think probably malaysia group will review the Moon first. The OPA has got some good review.

No doubt... how many emails have you sent him in that time? and has he responded at all?

Quick Update: The Earth + 2x Sun in my Zero is improving by each listen... it's probably the burn-in, but the bass is back and beautiful... I suppose there's just enough power to power the D5000, but probably nothing more power hungry.

I got an email from him today that he'll be shipping out Zeros tomorrow. Falke, did you order a new one or a replacement part? By the way, this was his first email in over a week.

Well, I do hope he sends out our orders tomorrow. If he doesn't, i might just ask for a refund and order from ebay.

If I knew what I know now, I would have just gotten one off of ebay.
