So from what I gather from all the ad8620 vs opa2227 talk is that
opa2227 is warmer sounding with more bass and mid range emphasis and a more forward signature
ad8620 seems to be slightly better technically with slightly better soundstage, detail and a brighter signature. This seems to be similar to the o2 sound signature if I'm reading correctly.
Obviously the differences will be relatively small and both will sound great most likely.
Am I correct with these assumptions?
I think I'm leaning towards the opa2227 variant as I've read it would be a safer bet if unless I've heard the ad8620 before.
Should what opamp i chose depend on what type of headphones I'm using with the amp?
I'll probably mostly be using IEM's on the go but maybe occasionally my pro900 at home.
