Thanks for the op-amp rolling impressions. Keep 'em coming peeps!
I also agree that added warmth is welcome with the D6. I went with AD797BRs in L/R and stock Buffs, it adds a fuller, richer sound to me. I don't want to remove my DDM's from my ears!
I have yet to try my 2- OPA627AU's on adapters, and have 2 single 797BR's on adapters coming in.... to see if they sound diff/better than the 2chips on 1adapter.
It always confuses me when peeps put Op-amps into the buff sockets... like you did! lol I have 2x LME49720HA I could put into the buff sockets... hmm I wonder... any ideas to what may happen?
I did test my DT990/600 with the stock D6... sounded real niice, but quite lacking in volume. With the AD797BR's in L/R a happy side-effect...the volume to my DT990/600 is VERY much increased!!!
If I can Roll the Buffs and gain even more volume without undue side-effects.... I'd be a happy Panda!
I'm strongly considering getting a couple 797s right now and some SOIC-to-DIP adapters. I put the 49720 in the headphone amp center socket the other day with the stock buffers and found it to be much to "digital" sounding -- nowhere near as clear as the stock AD8065As. My guess would be if you stuck 2 of them in the buffer slots you'd get kind of the same effect, if not a little lessened. It'd probably be much too analytic sounding. But then again, try it and see what happens.
I found the 2227 to be not a bad choice for the amp section. It provides a more pronounced bass and wasn't as laid back as I remember it being in a previous cMoy amp that I had. Transparency wasn't there like it is with the 8065s, but female voices were more rounded off and easier to listen to at higher volumes. For a ~$5 chip it's not bad.
I'm confused on how to determine what a good buffer would be though. Any ideas? What qualities should one look for in buffers?
