I still think the sparkos labs and v5i are the best.....I meant cheap and good Ive seen people adore national opamps and in my opinion they suck,same with TI opamps,and bashing JRC opamps,that's what I meant. People seems to hate the JRC5532/4 and 2114D,for no real reason. The V5i from burson...

Hey guys,to all stx owners,I found great combo,no need to go burson,just make sure youll get a genuine opamps Nec uPC4570c x2 for the I/V,and jrc2114D for buffers,forget marketing crap,these combo sound sweet,the only one that didnt gave me ear fatigue.

Ebay,from a seller located in United states The sound is very balanced,everything just sounds right,no ear fatigue like many so called "audiophile" opamps,that people seems to adore here,for no real reason. Sound is very warm,no too fast or slow,drums and vocals sound sweet. Today high end...

NEC uPC4570c is the best cheap sounding opamp....for the I\V if that matters...

The mids and highs are less sterile,more pronounced.more punchy...trust me,dont waste money on the V5,V5i are better!

@cucker Gaming with music,with EMI shield on---JRC5532DD(I\V)+JRC5534DD(buffers)\ LT1028ACN(if you can find them) 

@trooper05 nothing at all,my motherboard is Asus Sabertooth Z77. The problem I had with the STX,while using the SS3602,that I couldn't put the bracket back on, as it shares the same screw that holds the EMI shield.

for a cheap setup,JRC5532DD+LT1028ACN is the best I've found.

The problem with the stx,is that the pci-e bracket and the shield are sharing the same screw,and you wont be able to put the EMI shield back on,meaning you will will have problem attaching the pci bracket back on since the screw is to thin to hold only the bracket without the shield. And the ZXR...

Well,finally the SS3601 arrived,Installed them just today in my ZXR as buffers,and WOW,combined with the SS3602 in the I\V,such a complete package,blows everything I've tried so far,including the LT1028,AD797,OP627 and so on. The sound is super sweet,analog,enjoyable,everytime I change the...

Im still waiting for the SS3601,the postage in my area totally sucks!!

Hey Guys! I hope The S33601 will get to me ASAP since they have not arrived yet. I'll update as soon as they arrive. to micdawg12-hold up,don't order the SS3601 yet,I'll give them a try and I'll post here the results!

HI.by the end of the week I'll try the muses02 with LT1028ACN and I'll update. honestly I don't think of going back to standard opamps as I already ordered mono's SS3601 for the buffers,also from sparko's labs.
