This one click on link Single-to-dual Op-AMP Adapter - DIP version (p/n 021001) - 021001

You'll need to buy a 2 x DIP socket and solder on to it.

No!

Where is HiFlight when you need him. Mine is SOCKETED! I got it from him.

I just plugged the two AD797's into it, and plugged the whole thing right into my D1 - NO SOLDERING, BENDING, TWISTING, CUTTING OR TEARING...

Thats because HiFlight already done the hard work of soldering everything together.

I said that a couple of posts back, but even more posts back I was telling people to contact him about those.

I believe that HiFlight solders the sockets onto the single to dual adapter, and it only like $15 or something. PM him to find out.


That is correct, I solder the sockets onto the 2>1s to allow the use of a variety of single-channel DIP opamps with only one adapter. I also use a bypass socket for each buffer when using the AD797, as it outputs more power than most of the other opamps. The bypass sockets are included with the 2>1 adapter.

FWIW, I find it faster and easier to solder SOIC opamps onto an adapter than to make up the 2>1 and bypass sockets. It is pretty easy to burn the plastic when making up the jumpers. (ask me how I know!)

Yes,

I currently use OPA627BP in L/R on browndog single to dual op amp adapter DIP, AD8397 in BUFFER and LTC6241HV in the DAC. This setup to me sounds best to my ears.

After a long session of op amp rolling for the DAC section between (LT6234, LTC6241HV & LMH6643MA) listening to Diana Krall – The girl in the other room, Track 3-Temptation.

LTC6241HV is the winner; it had the most detail of the three. Follow by LMH6643MA the sound is similar to LTC6241HV but the snare drum didn’t sound as good as the LTC6241HV. Last position is LT6234 it had the least amount detail, sounded flat in this setup.



i'm useing opa627bp as well... i'm useing ad8066 in the buffer and 8656 for the dac.. i dun have a 6241 to try but 8656 has more details and sounds more extended in the treble and bass when compared to 6234. i used 8066 because it has more treble extension when compared to 8397 and it helps with the treble of 627..

I'll give ad8656 a try when it gets here, got some from souperman on this forum.

Great! I have been waiting to see a nice large cap installed. I don't have any right now that will fit. So what do you think of the sound and what do you hear in changes?
