The 'hot damn!' module?  Nope never heard of it.

its the thing with green wires

Hi, actually you are basically the only one online I have found that has even seen this module besides myself!! Yeah I ordered them before finding this thread, do you know what the additional wire is for on the unit? I would assume for a ground, but thats strange as I have seen other OPamp boards use the wire to ground bypass capacitors, but I would not think there are any capacitors on this HDAM...

I noticed you did not use the wire, what determined that for you? I guess hooking it up could cause some kinda buzz, but having it attached if no harm is done might be the way to go?

Thanks hope to hear back on this info

that's a stock photo from the ebay seller-

mine just arrived 1/2 hour ago-and its up and running right now-

no hookup other than popping out the old opamp and popping this in and sticking with the included tape- a whole 45 secons maybe

and all ill say so far is i think my 50 bucks was very very very well spent

Thanks!

nope this is good enough to keep to myself-

while on ebay i found a guy who sells zero dacs(not the guy i used) and he has some with this mod-i contacted him and ended up buying one for  $50 shipped -

the opamps come on a little board thing that just popped right out on my zero dac-

so far i am much impressed,quite the upgrade for the $$ in my system-

i find this hard to put in print because when i read stuff like this i want to barf-but durring a dave mathews song(gravedigger) live i could hear/feel his energy in playing the guitar at certain points in the song-
