Here is my take on XD05 and V5i pairing: What others found before my post is true indeed. XD05 shines with the V5i, went a great deal in removing the veil and 'darkness'. V5i brought about a drastic change by controlling the bass better, making the hit/slam quicker, less bloomy, opening up...

As per the data sheets, HA5002 is NOT a direct replacement for BUF634, owing their different pin layouts. Good thing I read them :) BUF634A is now available as a direct replacement/upgrade for BUF634U with exact same pin layout, with better slew rate and bandwidth.

Thanks! are the pinouts of HA5002 and BUF634 same? could they be safely swapped in?

Looking at specs, LMH6321 appears safer to solder in, considering it's made by Texas Instruments as well, and it's specs mostly match with BUF634U (similar input current 20ma), HA5002 has 8.5ma input current. For spacious sounding opamp, try AD8065, OPA627, LME49710

Hey! after quick research I gathered: All 3 are available in SOIC8 HA-5002 sounds more spacious, clearer than BUF634U (which is a tad warm sounding & veiled) but the problem is that HA-5002 does not have output current short protection - headphone jack removal during usage can potentially burn...

Planning to swap out the buffers on Xduoo XD05, BUF634U vs HA-5002 vs LMH6321 Anyone can help are these inter changeable and sonic differences?

Thanks mate, which dual channel opamp, SOIC8 might have a wide airy soundstage to offer? I was unable to find LME series in SMD here. Have ordered AD8066 SOIC8.

OPA827 vs AD8065 Which one might have a wider/bigger soundstage? and if anyone can point out the sonic differences between them? Thanks!

Guys, TI has stopped production of LME49860 and LME49720? and what's the difference between -MA & -MAX/NOPB?

Thanks, Ivan! Have shortlisted the 8066. Since OPA1612 has input upto 36V, AD8620 (13V) might be risky. Xduoo XD05 runs from 3.7V 4000mah battery. How about LME49860MA or 49720MA? they are discontinued though. Any other opamps to consider? I really dislike colored/warm/bassy sound.

Hey all! I need your suggestions. I'm modding my XD-05 which sounds too 'warm' or 'thick' for my preference. Im trying to make it sound more spacious, detailed and transparent. Swapping out the stock OPA1612 SMD. What are your suggestions for an op-amp with spacious large soundstage, with...

  I checked the price & I must admit you are right. Revised the price to 28K.   I think this should be a good deal since UE900 retails in India for 36K.

Hey people! feel proud to see so many fellow Indians here.   If anyone wishing to get headphones or amps - I've put mine on sale. Great opportunity to save import fees, time & money     Take a look ...

Yeah,   Dont buy takstar coz its inferior. you will be wasting your money.     You will need to remove the foam inside the earcups, that is the main culprit responsible.   Our aim is to make this headphone as open as possible to allow air in thus sounding more natural.     Open the ear...

I feel that LCD2, doesnt scale as much as HD650 does.   Also I believe LCD2 works better with a clean, detailed Solid state amp, rather than tube ones like Vali2, hence Magni2 will be a better choice.     HD650 works very well with good tube amps, including Vali2

Yeah, LCD2 is overweight   Fazor adds better soundstage, clarity & details + reliability

Mine is LCD2 Fazor Bamboo
