If you intend to purchase a PLAY and you're not sure if you need the BURSON opmaps inside or not, then it's all about your money. I kinda like more the Classic V6 opamps then the default NE5532/5534, but it's all about how much money you want to invest. In synthetic measurements NE5532/5534 are as good as the others, so...again, all come to the money.that is to drive a week and decide what I need ?
Hello guys!
One quick question.
There is any "good knob level" on the Burson Play!? I am using it at 55, but is that ok? The too high volume could damage my Play! unit or nope? The higher knob level could produce more heat, or is it possible that creates dissortion in the sound?
Any advantages or disadvantages using it on a higher volume level?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,

Is there a dual AD op amp that you could recommend that comes in the DIP 8 form?If you intend to purchase a PLAY and you're not sure if you need the BURSON opmaps inside or not, then it's all about your money.

If you already have the Basic PLAY, then my best sound and lowest possible noise was with 3xAD8599 (SO8-to-DIP8 adapters) + 2xAD797. Also, 3xMUSES8920 + 2xAD797 was about in the same leagues as the above.
Vivids may work quite well in LPF and Gain, just not in I/V for the K712.Default NE5532/5534 should do just fine, so just give it a try. Of course, Classics might increase the soundstage a little bit, but the default opamps are just fine. I can't recommend the Vivids, it will increase the trebles and scene a bit too much and might not be the perfect pair with the K712.
It seems the output voltage may slightly vary depending on what OP-AMPs you use. For me with the combination I've mention I have 2V at 47. If using all vivids I have to go at 45.Very good question indeed: you need around 52% for 2V RMS, but could be anything between 45-55%; after all, depends what you intend to drive on the RCA plugs. 55% is probably around 2.2V RMS.
I've told you few posts ago how I buy my Muses - not from online shops like Mouser or DigiKey but using the local distribuitors.Darn - can't find 8920 in stock
I wish there could be a direct and easy channel from Muses in Japan to us, their international customers. When I went there opamps (and all other audio related stuffs) are much cheaper than on eBay, and there wasn’t any reason to worry about fakes. The sad thing is you’d have to walk around to get great deals. Sometimes there are good deals on Yahoo Auction but it still doesn’t compare to the local shops
