Lesson 2: always check the browndog adapter you're soldering to :S
after receiving some browndog adapters from a headfi member that were unmarked I soldered a pair of smt opa 637's to them. little did I realise that the adaptors are converters for use with single opamp chips to convert to dual, after trying desperately to desolder one of them after realising this fact, I've successfully killed a 637 (OUCH $$$) so.. while I do have one more 637 spare it still means I'm going to be a chip short (unless by some miracle I desolder the other) and it's going to take a lot longer before I'll have this going at this rate :S
:S
anyone wana swap a browndog 2x with 1x 637 soldered to it for a dip8 version of the chip?
update: pondering biting the bullet and buying an 8610, considering I have 2 kicking around..
