After some researching, I'm most likely getting the Supermacro IV due to its 4 buttons (high/low gain, bass boost, xinfeed)... However, after reading alot of threads, head-fi'ers with previous experience on the Supermacro always says that it depends on the opamp. While this is true, it limits my understanding of the amp itself. I'm sure that since the IV just came out, people haven't fully listened to the IV to make detail reviews. Since I'm interested in getting the IV myself and have no understanding of what opamp sounds like, I wanted to ask which opamp would be right for me. Here's something to go by:
I listen to all types of music (classical, pop, rock, jazz, violin, piano, etc...); I'm a detail freak and I love the details presented in my Beyer DT 880, especially the highs;
I'm not a bass head but I would like bass to be deep (rather than impactful);
I will be getting the Shure e500 one day;
Soundstage, Soundstage, Soundstage!
Also, some have suggested that you could try different opamps and its very simple to switch back and forth. However, if you stack the buffers (as goto mentioned in the xin forum), the sound is much better presented (whatever that means). Does stacking buffers require soldering?
