Is there a better op-amp for HD-580 that can be used in Headsave classic?

EDIT: "on-amp" to "op-amp"

op-amp

yes you can

8620 should mate well with senns, but you can always experiment. if we're to generalize: burr-brown opamps tend to have a "smooth, laid back" character and analog designs tend to have a more forward character (of which your 8620 is one). senns tend to be more "laid back" by nature so they may sound over-mellow to you with a burrbrown opamp.

my allesandro ms-1's (grado) sounded excellent with opa627's (burr brown) because they were too forward with the original 8620's. for you it might just be too mellow.

but really: opamp rolling is all about playing around and seeing what you like and don't like.

ps: i don't know whether your classic has socketed opamps or not, but i'd be suprised if it didn't.

Hey, this is my first post in DIY forum

welcome, and sorry about your (diy) wallet!

I like the sound of my HD-600s with either AD8620 or OPA2107 opamps. I suppose which one I use depends on what I'm listening to at the moment. The AD8620 is a bit more aggressive on the highs, but that's not a problem with the Senns and you might prefer that anyway. Both are quite detailed.

Which ones exactly do I need for my Headsave Classic and what is their part number for the "Brown-Dog" adapter?
