IMHO, the LM4562 sounds more accurate and lifelike than the 5532. The 5532 outputs about 38ma, whereas the 4562 provides approx. 26 ma. It is, however, capable of driving any dynamic headphone to a harmful level.
In comparison to the above output currents, the AD8397 used as a buffer is capable of over 300ma. It has a sound signature similar to the 4562 except its sound is bit more forward. The choice between the 4562 and 8397 is a matter of personal preference.
