Ehm, not that the NJM4556 is a boutique part... And not that I'm very informed on sound cards, but it seems all the Creative cards save the very lesser ones have the 4556 used as a headphone/line buffer. I remember seeing it well on a few "Audigy" cards exposed in a shop...

Somebody correct me if im wrong. |
