Review: ZERO 24 BIT/192KHz DAC/Headphone Amp/Pre-Amp
Here's one more opamp for you to try: the LT1364 (a dual opamp). Overall it's alive, warm sounding, yet maybe slightly bright. A favorite of mine. Also, I would try 2x AD797. Though I'm sure that the OPA627's work great.- Mulo

my diy HD 580 cable build
I would use a high quality copper cable, probably. Silver is cool sounding enough that I don't know if it'd do much good to the HD580's own sound (thinking of my HD650, at least).- Mulo

my diy HD 580 cable build
Yeah, they do look spliced, that's what has prevented me from trying them. The cheaper one uses 99.99% copper cable made by StreetWires. Nothing spectacular, but then again it's probably no worse than the Canare cable (not that it shouldn't be good). The headphone plug is surely good- Mulo

Classical with Cute Beyond - op amp fine tuning
If ever electronics were sexy... Congrats! The AD797 would have been at the top of my list for that amp, too (though I didn't mention it before ). Where did you find that adapter? It's not a browndog..- Mulo

Need sonic comparison, AD823 vs. 826 vs. 825
May try the LT1364: I think it's a great mixture of the opamps you (the OP) mentioned. It's easy to use, too, though not quite as easy as a FET opamp; you can use it without problems in many existing circuits. It's specified from as low as +/- 2,5V which should be good in your application.- Mulo

Upgrade from HD 595 to HD 600 - Opinions??
Then other subjects would come into play. On the one hand, a student's budget; on the other, self-regulation would prevent me from spending so much money on a headphone! And I hate IEM stuff (I think it is somewhat unnatural both in form and in sound, thus really good only for portable)...- Mulo
