This thread is for discussions regarding the soon to be released Zorloo Ztella USB-DAC.

As a sucker for DAC/Amps in general and portable ones specifically I'm hyped about this new offering from Zorloo.

For those interested in possibly saving a few bucks or just interested in getting first in line this device will be launched on Kickstarter on October 24th according to the Zorloo website.

Here's the exact launch times for the Kickstarter campaign:

Interesting, like my Zuperdac-S so also keeping an eye out.

Automatic output level based on headphone impedance (1V for <150 ohms, 2V for >= 150 ohms)

Sorry complete audio noob here, just curious how the automatic output will work, it will just automatically adjust when something is plugged in? Seems like might be still difficult to drive some <150 ohms headphones with only 1V.

Which ESS DAC chip works in this little cute thing?

The kickstarter its live, who's going to join? Im with some doubts, im not sure if its worth or not even worst the cae that im not sure if buy it with MQA or not...

I ordered the MQA version. I'm happy with my Zuperdac-S but my new phone has USB-C only and I prefer a cable that is mounted to the DAC instead of using a separate cable as I'm using now. I also use the Zuperdac-S on my computer at work. I don't care about MQA, but the chip used in the MQA seems to have better specs.

 

[peter123]

190 backers already, looks as if the vast majority go for the MQA version.

 

[a1laserboy]

I've gone for the MQA given the cost difference isn't really that much. Hopefully it'll work well with my new OP7T.

 

[Nolbert0]

DSD support piqued my interest, no use for MQA for me. Anybody know if it's DoP or D2P?

Haven't pulled the trigger, tho

I wonder how warm this thing gets while handling DSD or DXD...

 

[TimeSnow]

Just pulled the trigger on the MQA ver. Will report back.

 

[archy121]

Damn.. limited funds and it’s either MQA version of this or Fiio BTR5 I been waiting.

Will price stay similar/same after Kickstarter ?

Which ESS DAC chip works in this little cute thing?

For the standard version it's the 9270. For the MQA ver it's the 9281.

 

[TimeSnow]

Only 23 of the MQA vers left out of 600!

Wow!

Wow!

Looks as if Alm 600 are gone now, still some other perks available though.

Seems as if the campaign has been very popular, only six days left of it now....
