Oh, okay. Now I'm following you. Sorry about that. I was thinking in terms of opamp with an inverting or non-inverting configuration. Not the input pins themselves. I had not considered the DC offset of the AD8620. This might be a case to pick the better grade. I checked to see if there was any easy way to route the other ground connection to the buffered ground. Unfortunately, there isn't. Looking at the data sheet for the TPA, it says the input impedance is 300k. Is that the + terminal? I would imagine for a current feedback design, the - terminal should be a great deal lower than that. Anyways, I was expecting something greater than a few meg. So there may be a tiny bit of current flow, but still quite minimal. Shouldn't disturb the ground plane too much. I'm not sure though if the DC offsets would cancel eachother out or double up at the headphones. In the second case, it might be better to only have one side subjected to the offset.
