I am as soon as I have money to spare.
I'll wait til you get your hands on it before I make the purchase. Don't want to plunge on the 3601 then find out 3602 also fits perfectly and sound superior to 3601 Until then, I'll rock my OPA827's. Thanks guys!
They aren't mutually exclusive. SS3602 are used on the I/V conversion stage and the SS3601 on the differential to single ended stage. They can be used together.

They are pricy, I definitely agree on that. But despite the X7s flaws I consider it an overall great device. Versatile and great sounding.
I'd have to spend a considerable amount of money in order to achieve the same degree of functionality and SQ using separate devices. That's why I don't want to get rid of the X7, it fits my life too much.
However it seems that I've been hanging around on Head-Fi for long enough that I may have caught a disease known as "upgraditis". Even though I enjoy the way my setup sounds I am not 100% satisfied with it and always look for an improvement.
So now we have a conflict. On one hand, I want to keep the X7 as a core part of my setup. On the other hand, I want better sound. The only way to bring these two ideas together is by replacing the op-amps. Which is why I don't mind the SS3602 being so expensive. I'm going to buy them anyway. And I'll be damn happy about it.
