No Problem.

Good luck with the mod.

With opamp you need snips,then cut legs off and remove remainder with solder braid.

yeah, my problem is that my soldering iron was not powerful enough, so it was never able to heat up the solder and legs for the capacitor to pass through

I bought a 25W solder on the internet yesterday... too late to change now. Hope it's enough. Problem is that the higher powered ones looked a lot bigger, and not suitable for soldering the tiny legs of a SOIC opamp.

Is it possible to order more samples than 3?

25w should be no problem.Mine is only 18w and melts solder no problem.Just keep the tip clean with a damp sponge and tin the tip regular.

Ah... it is as I expected. The caps should definately be shorted then.

That ERS Paper, should it be adhesive or non-adhesive? I'm guessing Adhesive O_o.

Also I'm considering using the 2200uF Kyyu caps I found in the old Antec PSU I have, should I? One of them has brown crap on top... Weird since it worked the powersupply.

It's not just the size of the caps, but also the quality right? So I would stick to Blackgate, Audionote, Nichicon.

I am also curious about the Audigy 2 ZS, let me know if you find anything out

Alot of guys are using these LM4562's on soundcards latley they sound amazing. Do you guys find the ERS paper helpful? I understand it should work rather well seeing how "Noisy" the inside of a PC case is electrically speaking.

 

[kirimaru]

is there any other website where i can buy the lm4560?
bcause national.com want to charge me 65 dollars to ship 3 samples.
thanks.

I was going to do this mod on the XtremeGamer, but ran into some problems. From what I can see, the original op-amps in the Xgamer has its "pins" on the wrong side of the amp, so some bridge or something has to be done to get the new amp in place. Check the photo of it:



Anyone got any advice on how to proceed? Is using small bits of iron wire a good thing? First solder the wire to the xgamer and then solder the new amp to the wires?

EDIT: It might be possible to just bend the pins a little on the new amp to get it in place.

EDIT2: I have made another photo where both op-amps are beside each other to compare sizes. The new amp the the right of the old amp. The new amp is not soldered yet.
