Recently I put in a dual opamp buffer section for my balanced TPA6120 amp. I had an AD8620 in there for a few days, but I thought the sound was slightly congested compared to without the buffer (but then no onboard volume control) and also compared to my AD8066 based balanced MINT.

So, I was going through my opamp box, and found a LT1364 that I had purchased four or so years ago. Hmm, I haven't tried these in a while... so I popped them in the amp.

I really like these! Very nice, neutral and detailed, like the AD8066s, except less clinical.

The DC offset is not as good (21mV/12mV) as the AD8620 (less than 1mV both channels) but I don't think ~20mV of offset is harmful anyway.

I need to get an AD8066 next time I place a parts order and try it in this amp too. Mmm... I really do like these relatively inexpensive high speed opamps...

I recently also tried the LT1362 in a Practical devices XM4 it sounds fantastic. Not too clinical and has a more accurate sound than a OPA2111 Im still torn on this and the AD797,843,822 however alot of it has to do with what ya want I like that 50ma output

This circuit your tried these opamps in, this is a DIY unit?
Can you post a pic?

Have you tried the LT1057?
I did a comparison between the LT1057 and the LT1364 and found the former to sound a bit better. Your results may vary.

Probably one of these:

Cool. I have been cosnidering designing and building one myself. Not based on that chip as I may go with a tube or opamp section.

Cool build though!
