Does an OPAMP upgrade affect the Headphone out on the X-Fi Forte? - Page 2

Just had a look at the Auzentech site. They are also selling silver solder and gold plated connecting pins for more "pure" audio (snigger). They really have got the audiophile market figured out!

Found this thread while looking for input on opamps for my forte (specifically looking for burson opamp replacement info). Is the consensus in this thread that changing the opamp will have no change on the sound? Does this matter in all situations (ie Audio-GD sun vs moon vs earth in their gear) or just in soundcards?

The fact is you can only go backwards in sound quality blindly switching op-amps, also them audio-gd op-amps are awful.

And by awful, we don't mean "The treble was slightly glassy and the mids took on a strident tone," we mean "Sweet Mother of God, what happened to the distortion spectra?"
