The Zishan dsd's corner

[vapman]

So the only difference is opamps? I have bunches of opamps lying around. I wasn't sure about the power board upgrade though.

  So the only difference is opamps? I have bunches of opamps lying around. I wasn't sure about the power board upgrade though.

 
The difference between packages is opamps, but all the upgrade packages also include changes to the resistors etc, which would be hard to do yourself unless your an engineer or something... Also the stock pcb only uses a dual Soic8 opamp for voltage amp, which limits your options to change it, and it's soldered, the upgrade packages use single opamps on a Dip8 board which would be really hard to do yourself as you would need to solder some kind of Dip8 socket to the Soic8 spot on the pcb... not easy. The power supply upgrade you can't do yourself either as we don't know the parameters. Basically you can't do the upgrades yourself unless your a pro with a solder and are an engineer...

So if I -that bought the stock condigurarion- wanted in the future any of this upgrade plus the power one,  I just have to order the upgrade board and replace it in the zishan..  am I right?

I don´t know about the amp you mention but in my humble opinion the gap mini a1 is, for what it offers, a steal at his current price point -as well as the zishan-, absolutely recommended.

As Taobao is no user friendly at all for someone non knowing chinese language (besides it doesn't ship to my country) i wrote to the AliExpress seller that sold me the ZiShan DSD about upgrade modules.
 
He told me that i can buy upgrades from them as welle but they need to know which upgrade i want.
 
I found the (probably!) page for upgrades on Taobao:
 

 https://world.taobao.com/item/530460657059.htm?fromSite=main&spm=a312a.7700824.w4004-15375179235.10.lgqFOW

 
but i can't search for may favorite upgrade as i don't know chinese.
 
May i ask you which upgrades do you like better so i can send the name to the seller to buy them?
 
I read the preview description:
 
Package 8610b X2 + 8610b X2 + 634XIIX2X2
Package II 49720HA X1 + 797 X2 + 634XIIX2

Package 5 49990 X2 + 627AU X2 + 634XIIX2
Package 6 49990 X2 + 8620B X1 + 634XIIX2
Package 7: 49990 X2 + 8620A X1 + 634XIIX2
Package 8 49990 X2 + 8610B X2 + 634XIIX2
Package 9 99990 X2 + 8610A X2 + 634XIIX2
Package 10 49990 X2 + 637AU X2 + 634XIIX2
