If I wanted to change my opamps, all I would need to do is purchase the "SOIC-to-DIP Adapter w/Pre-Installed Op-Amp", take apart the amp, pull out the previous opamp, and then put the new one in? I'm interesting in grabbing a 4627 to go with my UERM and hd600.

Yup. It's as easy as that!

Well then, 4627 it is!

Couldn't you just use one of those clear-ish plastic boxes with a ton of compartments that people use to store beads or buttons or jewelry?

Unless they need to be stored very specifically (I have no idea), you can get one of those boxes with like 10-20 compartments for under 5 bucks.

I need something with a foamy base that i can pin the op amp to so it doesn't rattle around. I also need something that has an inside lining that's not conductive. I don't know, maybe one of those storage bins with non conductive foam cut to size for the compartments?

Do they have to put in a specific orientation or does it not matter?

Why does it cost $10.45 to ship a tiny little OPAMP within the states?! Kinda ridiculous...

Profit.

Q: where are you guys buying the ADA4627? I saw reference to Mouser. Or are you guys getting it from Leckerton directly?

they do. I think they do.It should be fairly easy to tell.

When I  bought Op Amps I got from both Mouser and Leckerton. So I'm assuming you can go to either source. But I went with Mouser for Op Amp 627AP because it was cheaper.

 

[gnarlsagan]

The 4267 is available from Leckerton. Got mine there.

 

[zachchen1996]

It's easier to get direct from leckerton because the opamp is already soldered to the adapter so all you have to do is plug it into the circuit board.

I just got an email from Leckerton this afternoon concerning the ADA4627-1A and it can be ordered directly from his site. The op amp costs 16 USD per op amp and comes already soldered onto the SOIC board. I was tempted but shipping to Canada is 32 USD which means I'd be paying 64 USD for a couple of tiny op amps. Pretty pricey for a couple of little op amps. Anyone out there handy with a soldering iron or know of a better place to buy this op amp already soldered to a SOIC board, lol? I've given flea bay a quick look and there are cheaper alternatives but they all have no SOIC board and shipping is ranging anywhere from 9 to 20 bones USD.
 
By the way, I also mentioned to Nick he should look into getting a head-fi account and pop in on the thread. He answered he's been meaning to and eventually will get around to it but he has been very busy the last few months with new designs. Not to sure if he meant designs at his day job or concerning his home Leckerton audio business. If it's his home business I wonder what he has up his sleeve?

 

[Theogenes]

Hmmm.... Color me interested if he's working on something new. Pretty impressed by the guy and his products. 

 

[robm321]

I'm also very impressed with his work and approach.

For ordering the ADA4627, what's the Voltage Input Offset - 120µV or 70µV? What difference would that make?
