So I've listened some to the LT1364CN8 through the headphone out of my Essence STX and I'm wondering if someone like ROBSCIX can see a pattern here. Is this chips' current output higher than what would be called low maybe? It's difficult to put into words, but this one doesn't sound natural -...

Just wanted to share the impressions of the LT1612 and OPA2211 that I've posted in the opamp thread: LT1612AID OPA2211AIDDA Both are listened to via the headphone analog out.
