500+ Head-Fier
Pros: Clarity, Detail, and an overall Great Value
Cons: Somewhat Cold
The SD-1955 delivers very low distortion for the price, and a clean, clear all-encompassing sound to match. Exchanging stock op amps is recommended.

Hi - I am thinking of buying this DAC and read your review with great interest. I looked up the JRC5532DD Op amp and it seems to be a dual op amp and the OPA637 is a single op amp. Did I miss something? Appreciate any guidance on this as when I get it I would like to play around and change out the op amps too.
Thanks and regards,
Steve

New Head-Fier
Pros: Nice sound, handles all types of bit rates
Cons: None yet
I've only had this unit for a few days so I expect it should get a little better with burn-in, and I can already hear that happening. It plays CDs and DVD-Audio discs with no problem, and streaming through the USB is great. Very nice, smooth sound. A big improvement to my system.
 
FYI - the dac chip in this device is the same one that's used in the Emotiva cd player.
