Yo sir.
Yes. All new Paradisea DACs ship with a socketed OPAMP.
...
Regarding custom requests ...
I'm planning on asking if they can provide a 2.2uf output cap instead of the usual 2.0uf as I simply LOVE the bass performance of the current, albiet older, paradisea that I have here at my house (which features the larger, more bassy 2.2uf caps).
Again, he claims the 2.2uf caps were not used much, so whether I can get them with the new DAC or not is anybodies guess.
Really though ... I can't see how 2.0 vs. 2.2 caps would make much of a difference.
That minor .02 difference probably won't translate in to much sonic differentiation I dont' think.
Which is why I'm ordering the new version this week.
Gotta do some serious A/B listening.
Either way ...
I'm pleased to say that I'm going to be selling one or the other once all the listening tests are done.
Somebody will end up with a hella-fun DAC out of this deal.
(of course, I'll start at OCN with some club member discounts)
