I find that very unlikely in computers since they use no voltage greater than 12V.

Anyone know of a seller that has authentic MUSES01/02 on ebay? They've gotten very expensive on mouser.
Like igytech said, stay away of eBay, because all sellers are selling fake MUSES only. Better get 8820/8920 if you don't want to spend money on 01/02 right now. 8820 is having a good price for a wire with gain chip, same applies for 8920 if you need a decent opamp for I/V stage.
BTW, I purchased 10 x MUSES (8x01 & 2x02) directly from the UK NJR supplier PROFUSION PLC; a little bit cheaper than Mouser. I also got some 8820 & 8920 from them and I was pleased with their services.
Thanks for the help! I'll just wait until either one of them drops in price or until the release of the MUSES03, I'm not in a hurry to get them.

I was also trying to decipher which ones on ebay are fake. Haven't brought an 02 yet (since the V5i is too tall for my portable amp). Will probably get one from Mouser to be on the safe side (too bad they don't sell on ebay).
That was my thinking as well until someone pointed out the 03 will be single channel only, not a dual opamp like the 02.

I believe MUSES03 would be single opamp, not dual like MUSES01. Anyway, MUSES03 was designed for I/V convertors, so it should be perfect for DAC's I/V stages.
I believe it was a thread here on Head-Fi, but usually you need to analyze the picture with front of the opamp. Also, see the edges, should be a bit rounded and not sharp; they usually take the cheapest opamp, polish the surface and laser/print the MUSES on front, this is why from the polish the edges become a bit sharp...like 90 degrees sharp. Also, the final test would be their legs, that are way much softer than a regular opamp, perhaps too much copper inside (perhaps silver too?). Last one: now most eBay sellers are using original MUSES pictures, so you can't even identify that they're selling fakes anymore.
