Hi there. I'm quite a noob in all that audio stuff, so sorry in advance for my silly by local standarts questions. Being interested in buying AE-9, first of all I'm curious about one thing... For example, I'm planning to use it with that external module with headphones connected to it. And it makes a question, is this module connected with those replaceable op-amps, or - op-amps are connected only with rear audio outputs on sound card? Because, I'm afraid, that if I'll decide to replace all those op-amps with some more expensive ones - I'll hear the same sound in my headphones, because op-amps suddenly doesn't affect the sound in external module.
Also, curious about all this Dolby stuff in a sound card. Dolby can be used only with optically connected audio receiver? Or, I can also use some kind of DTS Headphone:X, or any other Dolby stuff in my headphones through the external module?

Hi,

I want to order these for my AE-9, should i just order the V6 Classic (or Vivid) dual Opamp x 2 ?

Thanks!

It needs one pair of duals and one pair of singles. You should also get the extension cables, you can squeeze them in without the cables like I had to but running the two duals off the extension cables will make it way more secure.

I'm curious, if there's any sense to buy those op-amps, if I'm listening different kinds of electronic music, like synthwave, eurodance, techno/hands up, electro freestyle, etc? Or, they are only suitable to hear some additional details in instrumental music?

For a desktop PC - any real difference between the X7 or the AE-9 in terms of sound quality? And how do they compare in terms of surround sound ability and accuracy?

I'm also planning to swap out the opamps - heard alot of good things about Sparkos opamps, how do they compare with the Burson V6 Vivids?

After a few years of use, I think I need to swap OP AMPS for this card, the included ones are way way way to warm, specially with my Sennheiser HD650 so which OP AMPS do you recommend me for making this card brighter?

I use the Sparkos Op Amps, and they work beautifully with the AE-9. Very transparent and improved the sound quality in my opinion.

I second the Sparkos. Use them in my X7 and they're great.

Thanks duranxv and TeeReQs, so I have to buy 2 SS3602 (Dual) and 2 SS3601 (Single)?

How they compare to Burson ones?

Correct. 2 of each.

I haven't compared them to the Bursons

 

[enb141]

Thanks,

Wow the SS3602 costs $80 each ($160) and the SS3601 costs $40 each ($80) so that will be $240 total.

In other words the price of the card itself

Another question, can I use low impedance high current amps on high switch (which is supposed to be for headphones above 150 ohms)

 

[TeeReQs]

I haven't compared them to Bursons either, but Andrew at Sparkos is great to deal with. When I ordered mine, he gave me a deal on ordering the whole package. Might want to reach out and see if there is a discount for getting both duals and singles.
