What exactly does socketed mean? Can I just pop a new opamp in there without any soldering?

It is new enough to HeadFi, that there aren't many comparisons yet. It is a shame, because this is one nice amp. I hope we see some soon.

If it's the LT1364, you bet! So far, this has been the Opamp of choice to roll into the MK1.

Hey everyone. I'm in the process of deciding between the MK I and another portable amp. Could you please read my last post in this thread? It regards the MK 1 with LT1364 op-amp vs. the Headsix in terms of what would better match a Cowon D2 player.

Thank you.

Congratulations! It really is an impressive little amp, for sure! Were you going to do the Opamp change, or leave it stock?

Well hopefully my amp is now happily on its way to the UK and I'll order me in a LT1364 op-amp shortly to tweak the sound once I've given it a good run though / warm up / burn in.

Q: on the Linear Technology website there are three LT1364 op-amps listed, LT1364CN8#PBF, LT1364CS8 & LT1364CS8#PBF. They are all Dual 6mA 70MHz 1000V/uSec OA type, so which is the one for the Mk1?

TIA.

I am interisted in getting longer life from my rockboxed ipod, but honestly Im happy with its performance as of right now. Im new to all this, but I have a nack for stuff like this. I dont travel that much and 7 hours of playback is enough for me. I am enjoying it though, I love the reactions I get from people when they see rockbox instead of the norm ipod interface.

Well as of right now Im going to leave it stock. I have to order a cryo dock for my ipod and am looking into a keces 151 for my laptop. I also need to purchase some decent headphones as my Senn Eh150's are very lackluster compared to what I plan on upgrading to. Ne ways I appreciate all the help and everything I have learned since I joined back in December. This is def. a new hobby of mine.
