I've heard that swapping the opamps in the ZD3 actually decreases sound quality, but I am definitely NOT an expert. There is a video on Passion for Sound (Youtube) where he mentions this. Anyone else have any thoughts as I have the same question as LBUCCI? BTW, swapping the L/R opamps in the ZA3 definitely improves audio quality, most seem to recommend the Sparkos, Oracle II-02's or Muse 02's as far as I know. I've tried the cheaper OPA1656's and the have been great so far. The above Youtuber also suggests the Burson V7 Vivids for the ZA3 as he says that the Sparkos are a little too "smooth" for the ZA3.
