There are no sockets, so the adapter will fit very nicely with plenty of clearance in the LR socket of the D10. While many buffers sounded good to me, IMO, the best of all the trials was when using the AD8616. (2) of these are required as well. They are silver-soldered to a gold-plated adapter that is smaller than the browndog and will fit side-by-side in the buffer sockets without having to file edges. The AD8616 has a very low quiescent current draw, but is capable of outputting a very respectable amount of current. It is low-noise, can swing voltage rail-to-rail, is unity gain stable and has nearly perfect squarewave response. All of these are characteristics of a really good buffer. The AD743 has long been one of my favorite audio opamps, but is becoming very scarce, as the 8-pin DIP version is no longer being produced. The 743 was primarily used in sonar applications but due to the very low noise and distortion specifications it works beautifully in audio applications. It is a very accurate opamp that is superbly well-balanced across the entire audio spectrum. Instruments and vocals are both reproduced very realistically. The 743/8616 have an excellent synergy and, IMO, allows the D10 to really exhibit its full potential. Please PM me for further details. It is not my intention for this post to be business-related, but rather a service for those who do not feel comfortable soldering small expensive devices. |
