[SunnyBoi]

Sigh. So here are some weekend purchases

So I wanted an improvement over my current setup in office. Decided to get an el cheapo DAC for now and here it is





Its the Zero DAC 09 Version. Wait!!! I dont have the USB version so how to use this DAC with my laptop??????

Ugh. So went and bought this



Hey, I'm SunnyBoi and when I buy awesome stuff one is never enough



But wait!!!! where am I gonna store all those lovely FLACs???



This will replace the 160GB of my office laptop this has to do till I can buy a laptop

Phew. I'm broke

EDIT : Added costs

Zero DAC 09 : 140SGD ~4.5K

m2Tech Hiface : 240SGD ~ 8K each

WD Scorpio Blue 500GB - 125SGD ~4K

Nice purchases..and nice way to present them ..

please tell the damages for that DAC..

 

[SunnyBoi]

added the expenditures. sigh

 

[Metalspree]

No comments from my side,every one here have stopped burning as they have used to your decent purchases

 

[ragzdiablo]

that small white connector is for 8k?????

 

[SunnyBoi]

Yes. How ironic, USB to SPDIF that comes with the zero DAC is just 10USD optional extra

 

[raksrules]

Congrats and Advanced Congrats and Advanced Congrats for this and all your future DECENT purchases.

Phew ! Finally some indecent stuff instead of the regular 'decent' stuff you were getting !

But seriously you spent 8.5k for just a USB interface ?

Wish you were in Mumbai, would have loved to hear all this 'decent' audio stuff !

 

[SunnyBoi]

Its one of THE BEST USB to SPDIF convertors. look it up on head-fi

I'll definately need it once my *real* DAC comes in

Burning the DAC in by connecting it to the Xtreamer and let the guys watch movies thru it hehe they gave a free optical cable and it sure is useful

 

[Grease Monk]

Do you get the DAC in SG? Or was it through ebay from the guys in China?

 

[Gannu]

Swap the opamps now! Seems like the Zero DAC does well with aftermarket opamps. Like we attempted with the MX5021.

Congrats!

Heh its not just a USB interface . Its *THE* USB interface currently. It is probably the lowest jitter anything -> coax converter you can get bar none. Pummels the Lynx TWO, kills the ECHOs and EMUs, basically there's nothing else that performs remotely close.

Plus its the only USB-> SPDIF converter that does 24/192 bitperfect natively.

Enough said .

PS: The second one is mine heh.
