VentureCraft new DDC/DAC Go-DAP DD Socket 1 product
Apr 4, 2013 at 3:09 AM Post #196 of 594
I've held back with my order still. Limited funds and I have to decide if I should go for another portable component or focus on improving my desktop rig. Whilst on the limited edition DD's, they've started to sell the daughter boards which allow you to switch do different opamps :-

OPA627 is not suit to my taste but I probably going to get MUSES01 limited version. Since I already have MUSES02, I can swap between 01 and 02 to give it a try on both edition.

I am keep thinking your national is creating a bottle neck in your nice setup.

Nice of them, however I think just to be safe the ideal thing is to have the 12V board in order for one to be able to comfortably do a opamp swap.
 
I was speaking with my cousin who is an electrical engineer. He told me that opamp in general all do the same thing, they were design to replace tube valve. In terms of audio component he said he ideally if you want to make sure you are getting the "best" that the opamp can offer you must design your board around it. 
 
This makes me wonder if the entire concept of opamp rolling will actually do us any good.

Is this for other OpAmp that didn't come in DIP format right? MUSES01/02 should be able to swap without any problem.

That might be true. I probably going to get another amp in the near future. ALO Rx is hissing too much, so that out of question.

Have you tried the O2 and perhaps the C5? After going back and forth I had many mixed feelings about O2 but after hearing some many times more expensive amp I think O2 hold its ground more than well. It is design to amplifier signal with minimum colouration. I just wish they designed it in the same was the pico-power. Right now I am using the C5 with my DD socket 1 because of how it stacks up, with the reducing the gain setting on the DD socket 1 the mids are not longer a forward. Have a look at C5, it is designed to work for IEM.

O2 probably too big but I also looking into C5 too. I think they use OPA2227. I really want to listen from it with my Socket 1. gkanai told me to contact him next time that I visit Tokyo, so I can try his C5.

Yes O2 size is not the problem, how it stacks is really odd considering where the volume knob is.

I'm wondering...
 
Do you guys think the C5 will outperform the Rx MK II with IEM/CIEMs?
 
I do use my Mrspeakers Mad Dogs for traveling, but on the go, I only listen to my ciems. One thing I love about the Rx MK II is the bass impact. Haven't found another amp with equal impact.

Probably not but, as I already mention, ALO Rx series is too hissing with my MH335DW, so I'm looking for an Amp that black, neutral, and small.
 
On the go, I already have my Go-Dap X. I spend about 8 hours of listening every day at work.
