You only need to swap the Amp opamp for the headphone out
 
The DAC opamp is for the Analog out


really? why wouldnt it be effected despite me using it via usb?

Okay so when I pick the LM4562 and LT1364 then the LM4562NA/NOPB goes in the socket right/above of the tube (the DAC I presume?) and the LT1364CN8#PBF goes right of that white cable (headphone amp I presume?)?

They're labeled U5 and U6 on the PCB. U5 is the DAC opamp socket (located closest to the tube). U6 is the amp opamp socket located to the far right on the PCB.

Based on the descriptions I've read here, I think I've come to the conclusion that I wanna buy these two

They are the right form factor and everything correct? I'm just not sure about all the sizes and stuff of the Opamps. Also, what is this DC offset thing? Is it an issue with these two specifically or will I just be able to plop em in and forget about them when I'm ready to switch up?

Yes, they're the correct form factor.
 
Not sure about the DC offset you speak of, but I have those 2 as well. Just plop them in and forget.

Are most buying the Mav D1 directly from Maverick's site? Anyone using the D1 with Denon AH-D2000s? I was set to order a PS Audio GCHA but the D1 looks to be a great option at a much lower price.

Oh ok, cool. Which one do you like to use with the amp part?

I waited for a deal on eBay. Happened to get it for about $150 shipped and it ended up being a version 3 so I'm pretty happy about that.
 
I'm very impressed with the audio quality, granted, I didn't experience the stock sound, but with opamps and tubes being as cheap as they are and easy to install I don't think it's really necessary to judge it based on it's stock sound.
 
I've only tried it with Sennheiser HD555s, AKG K240s, and a random pair of iMetal IEMs, but it sounds great with all of them.

LM4562 in the amp section and LT1364 in the DAC section.
 
I basically copied what Spanky socketed into his so I could skip the stock sound with recommended sound on day one of having the D1, but now I feel like ordering a few opamps and experimenting with the sound.

Ah ok, I think I'll try that out then. I wanted to get another amp before I got another pair of headphones and I'm just glad this one was given to me so I can just spend some money on a few new cans to hook up with it. I'm just glad this thing punches a lot of power so that specifically never ends up being the issue with coupling between it and other cans. Since it was tested with the HD650's apparently so I might get those bad boys.

If you read the first page, the audio routing goes [Out of the DAC > Volume Pot -> Headphone Amp (opamp on the right)] for the Headphone out.
 
The DAC opamp only gets used as gain stage for the Tube out and the Analog out with or without the Direct Button Enabled.
