I find the Vivids have more lower/sub bass, while the Classics are a little bit, hmm.. boomier maybe not the right word, slightly loose and focused on the mid/upper bass range, probably that's (partially) why Vivids have cleaner and the Classics more fatter mids.

First of all: big thanks goes again to Charles from Burson Audio for providing me a pair of V6 Classic Dual samples! They're still a week old so they aren't properly burned in, so it is just an initial quick comparison. The soundcard they are in is a Sound Blaster ZxR, i used it with half a...

I decide it's time to start writing a review about Burson Audio's Supreme Sound Opamp V6 Vivids because otherwise it would never be finished. First of all many thanks to Charles from Burson Audio for sending me the opamps. I'm using them in my Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium HD, the V6...

Thank you for your insight and help! I'll try with a 10nf first.

These are the caps around the opamp: I will buy a 10nf MKP then, and a 100nf MKP too, just to be safe, they are fairly cheap ones. Sadly no one i know have an oscilloscope.

I read through what you wrote and most linked. So basicly there is no simple magic solution to increase sound quality, but replacing upgrading adding and modifying a lot parts on the soundcard and maybe inside the PSU too. For now i only would like to add a/some decoupling condensator(s) to...

Thanks! Does it matter how many volts it was designed for? I saw WIMA MKP10 from 100V to 250V and 630V too. Is there any higher quality MKP caps than WIMA or is it good enough? WIMAs seems rather cheap. Just asking. Someone from the V5 topic used Elna Silmic II 10uf 35V for decoupling. Is it...

What kind of caps did you use exactly?

First of all many thanks to Charles for reaching out and providing me a free sample of a Burson V6 Vivid Dual opamp. I'm using an Auzentech X-Fi Prelude 7.1 soundcard which uses AKM AK4396VF DACs. The Burson opamp replaced the soundcard's default LM4562NA. My computer has a Seasonic M12II-520...

How many volts does it have to be? 16 or 35 ? These sockets are usable for mounting? https://www.ebay.com/itm/7p-8-PIN-GOLD-DIP8-IC-SOCKET-PANEL-ADAPTER-SWAP-G8S-i/390342197507?epid=2268187043&hash=item5ae2354103:m:m2tDkkrRS2SYwQfU4BAvyuQ ? That i don't have. So if i understand correctly do...

1 DAC per 2 channels, it's a 7.1 sound card, hence the 4 DACs, front channel's op amp is swappable and 3 OPA2134uas for the remaining channels. By the way i like the LM4562NA clarity over the OPA2134, but maybe it has too harsh highs, i don't know. I looked that vendor / item too, but that...

Mine also has only 1 swappable opamp. I'm doing some more reading about the OPA1688 then. So then the LME49860NA not a good upgrade choice from LM4562NA. It was considered to be a well built card 10 years ago, how well i don't know. This is the card: This is the 2x LME49990 soldered into a...

Hi! I am trying to find a better opamp for my Auzentech X-Fi Prelude card which uses AKM-4396VF DAC and LM4562NA opamp. I read, i read and read, and now i'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel: LME49860NA LME49990MA I liked what i read about the LME49720HA too (or 2x...

Are the 2x AD797 BRZs still considered a good upgrade from the default LM4562NA opamp for the Prelude? Or are there anything else which is also an upgrade?

Hi! I'm torn between ISK HF2010 and ISK HP2011. I would buy it for gaming but also to listening some music. I like the sound of violin, trumpet and piano, but i listen all kinds of music including anime's. Also for watching movies. So not for monitoring or recording. Which is more comfortable...
